The commercial will make you a better pilot and is a lot of fun too.. Since
you won't be able to get a multi to fly, I don't see how getting the rating
will improve your skill in a way that affects your (single engine) flying.
The multi rating is all about single engine flying, nothing else.

My original plan was to finish the instrument rating and then do some
additional aerobatic training and a tailwheel endorsement before
starting the commercial. But for some reason, as I approach the end of
the instrument training, I've had an interest in doing the multi. I
know that I wouldn't be able to rent due to insurance, nor do I know
if I'd really want to given the small number of hours I'd have by the
time I completed it. It would be one more opportunity to increase my
knowledge and skills. And maybe I'd get asked to ride along with a few
pilots I know that are rated.

But does it make sense to do the multi before the Comm, and would I
receive more benefit from following my original plan?
