Plucks, you are a brave man letting any of the current crop of newbies any where near your 185! Most of them can't do a proper crosswind landing in a Cherokee.
But as a former employer who understands these things, yes in my book 10 hours of 185 circuits would equate to 1000 hours of scenics in a 200 series.
Problem is neither insurance companies nor HR get this and I dare say some of the younger chief pilots out there would not, either.
