It takes 1 sim session to get used to flying glass on a type rating.

Going glass to steam the scan has never developed for the 6 gauges unfortunately this has led to pilots failing type ratings.

Hour building you need to find the cheapest aircraft then do quality trips to broaden your experence base.

The added experence of glass SEP isn't really sort after in europe. And in someways the new GA glass far outstrips airliner glass.

If you had a plan that you were going off to Africa to fly G1000 fitted carvans I could see the point to hour build using it. But if your goal is to get a job in the EU there really isn't much point.
