I would definitely do the IFR training in the plane you are going to fly.  I 
don't see the point on saving some money doing it in a spam can, which behaves 
nothing like the 4-P (the spammer is much more forgiving as I am sure that you 
know).  And , IMHO, for you guys chucking around half a million into an 
airplane like the 4-P, I don't think 225 an hour plus around $20/hr for the 
instructor for a few hours is going to kill you.  Plus you can spend around 
half the hours on a simulator...which is way cheap.
