After some more thought, I've pared down my original questions to two:
1. Skip CMEL and just get CFI initial now and instruct.
2. Get CMEL and CFI initial now and instruct.
What's the difference? I have 5K to spend, but by going option 1 I can save the other 2K and combined with my year-end bonus afford a CMEL/Time building package. By then I'd have 600 TT or so (hopefully). By going with option 2 I'd at least be eligible to float some resumes while the TT creeps up, although the multi time would not be.
I really don't see any reason to get all the instructor ratings, as there aren't any twins around, and getting the -II by itself isn't as cost effective as doing it with the -MEI.
BTW, ATP's $5800 II and MEI package is just ridonculous.
