I recently finished up my commercial ratings/licences.

I think i had 14 hours in the Arrow for the initial checkride, followed by 8 hours in a Seminole for the Multi-engine addon (with ATP on their 4 day course). I think it will be more expensive to do the Multi-Engine checkride first... but I have to say that 8 hours of multi-engine training got me to the point where I could pass a checkride, but not really to the point where I was completely comfortable flying the Seminole. It also helped that the Arrow I flew had similar systems and the cockpit layout was almost identical. Is there no other complex single at a nearby airport?
