I think if 'advanced' means leaving out the most visual aspect of metrication - ie everywhere you walk or drive - then I would suggest that this will be wishful thinking and possibly a poor read. One needs to be realistic regarding 'how things are' versus what people write on paper based on their opinions. If you wish to succeed - don't manufacture optimism.
