As for the aircraft type : Why don't you do the multi -engine rating on a seminole ? I did mine on that aircraft at Ormond Beach and found NO PROBLEM whatsoever to adapt to the Senaca after .... ... performace / speed is roughly the same , mags, switches, engine bits and peaces are situated in the same place ( pannel on the left) .... after I passed my ME , The guy at Ormond beach ( Adrian Thompson) , let me take the Seminole down to Nassau , with my instructor (unpaid) for safety reason and was addament to let me go solo after 10 more hours.... Ok it doesn't mean that he would let everybody do it. I've got to say that the ME was the most enjoyable part of my whole training.. and performance demonstration of single engine operation with HOT wheather was FUN and very interesting..... I won't praise OBA enough for it .. It might be weird to hear something nice about OBA once in a blue moon but I would recommend them if you're thinking about doing the ME in Florida.
