I agree do it sooner rather than later.

The only thing I would wait for is I would try to have at least 25-30 hours of cross country PIC time before you start, or be flying a lot in addition to the IR training. That is the biggest problem I have with Instrument students is all the other requirements get met, but they are often short on the XC PIC time requirement of 50 hours.
