If you have access to the helicopter, examiner, and meet all of the requirements for the ATPL (IR) checkride, then just do the IFR Checkride, that way you can fly VFR or IFR. I'm not totally up to speed on the new ATPL rules etc but it als depends what you wish to do with your licence. Do you wish to have IR privileges or will you only be flying VFR anyway. Why do two checkrides if you can do just one.
