rausda, don't know if the "you" in your post meant specifically "me" or a generic "you", but...

I am already Instrument Rated and am currently working on my Multi-Engine/Instrument rating and have found the IMC experiences I had during my initial IR training - as well as those I have had since earning the IR - to be MOST invaluable.

I did not find that experience to be either costly, nor time-consuming. In fact, I welcomed IMC as I wanted to SEE the reason why I was obtaining the rating.

I'm not sure I see where holding off on experiencing IMC helps a pilot hone his or her skills. Isn't the idea to stay not only current by the legal definition, but also proficient??

Just a thought.
