Instrument Rating prior to CPL?

Hey

I am looking at doing my CPL/IR this summer (single engine for now to lock the exams, will come back to it in a year or two once I am in a better financial position to gain MEP rating and upgrade to MEIR), with the intention of doing the CPL first followed by the IR.

However, due to various time and financial constraints, I am currently considering the possibility of just doing the IR first in a couple of months, then coming back to the CPL towards the end of the summer.

Does anyone have any feedback about doing things this way? I would be starting the IR with the minimum entry requirements - 50 hours of PIC cross country time (this will be about 120 hours total time in my case, about 55 of these will be recent, since renewing my SEP rating).

Thanks!
