200 hours tailwheel time with lots of take-offs and landings will definitely polish up your flying. That will ultimately assist you when it comes to CPL training.
Ask yourself, do I want to pay for 200 hours myself? I doubt it.
Yes, you will be forgoing an income, but if the day job remains open for you to return to, treat it as long service leave.
I'd grab it with both hands.
Enjoy.
