... I did my Commercial 141. Only needed 120hours towards your commercial (the usual for 141). I ended up at the end of my commercial with like 195 or so.

Exactly. For your CFI, you just need 5 hours PIC in the airplane you will take you checkride in. So, like some people said here, you can take your CFI the day after your commercial. The flying part for the CFI is easy. The oral is a pain in the a**. I did my oral in about 3 and a half hours, and apparently, I got it easy.
Which ever you go for your commercial, 61 or 141, just make it a habit of towards the end flying from the right seat. That way, your CFI will go a lot smoother.
