If I had a father who was buying a Baron...I'd get the multi-engine rating
right away. Time in the Arrow will not get you a high-performance
endorsement. Kill three birds with one stone. The Baron will get you a
multi-engine rating and complex time and a high performance endorsement.
You will also be ready to fly that twin when the time comes.

Now all this is assuming you can justify the massive increase in fuel burn
and multiplying that times 2, the increase engine amortization and
multiplying that by 2 and the insurance increase (not sure what that is). I
would also assume that you'd have to kick in a small maintenance
amortization per hour too. No?!?
