I ordinarily don't comment too much on arguments about what's best, or what is needed, etc---however. I recently completed my requirements for the Wings 2000 program. Among the requirements are an hour of instrument dual. With no operating attitude indicator, flying the Coupe with reference to the T & B and air speed is ridiculously easy. Recovery from unusual attitudes is a snap. Level the wings & capture the airspeed and your back in business. As a cap to the hour, my CFI played ATC and vectored me back to home plate. When Jim said take off your hood, we were over the runway. With the coupled rudders which keep the ball centered, a person who blundered into IMC would have an excellent chance of being around to face the consequences from Uncle Sam. In the Pacific Northwest, MVFR is the frequent norm, should I screw up and blunder into the soup,( AND keep my cool), the T & B would be a life saver.
