Thanks to both of you. That is what I wanted to hear and what I did not so far. I expected that there should not be a difference between ATPL IFR and ATPL VFR plus IR rating.
Helimut pointed out that there is no reason why I would not want to take the ATPL check-ride straight forward, I would fully agree if I had the IR rating in the type I wanted to make the examination with.
Facing the ATPL(H) VFR flight check as that involves less money investment than ATPL(H) IFR, firstly, due to no previous IR training to extend my IR to the type (B412) and , second, it seems the ATPL-VFR check-ride (with no extra IFR items) is a bit shorter hence a bit more economical.
Thanks again for your very helpful replies.
Best regards
