Why not ??!!! I don't really know why anyone bothers with the CAA PPL when the FAA lets you fly almost anything without a pointless rating AND will save you a load on check rides / medicals and even maintenance if you own your own machine !! The madness is that I would have to do around 8 hrs to get my 109 on my CAA licence and I'm flying it every week and have around 400 hrs on it !!
It would take around 20 hrs of training to get all my types back onto my licence ... No wonder people find easier routes !!
