Do it! Do it now! (isn't that from some movie?)
I have about 9 hours of actual IMC, still no instrument rating yet. Once you go into actual IMC, you'll wonder why on earth it isn't REQUIRED for the instrument rating. (Yeah, 'cuz the AZ folks would never get the rating. I know. Like you need it anyway, right?)
Until you've had the hood off and not seen anything but the wild gray yonder outside and gotten yourself a good case of the leans, it's hard to respect how serious this rating is. It also helps to experience what's really inside the clouds. Bumps, ice, etc. You also need to get in the habit of doing things like turning pitot heat on and strobes off when you get in the clouds as well.
Any reason you don't have any yet? CFII won't do it, or just haven't had the opportunity present itself? Next time you see a dreary gray day, make sure there's no ice in the clouds and head to the airport. The CFI's will be so bored they'll probably be glad to go up with you.
Do it, do it, do it. In case I haven't said that yet. Do it!
And if you need any more incentive, you'll see some beautiful sights sometimes. If you get on top for a bit you may see a glory; at the very least you'll get to soak up a few minutes of sun while the mere mortals on the ground are having a dreary gray day. I've also had a couple of flights where there were some cool sights mostly within the clouds - One where I was just darting through the tops, seeing a beautiful valley where the mountains were made of clouds, then flying right through the mountains. Another time there was a clear pocket in the middle of a layer, a spot where the one layer became two, and it was like being in a cave made of clouds. Beautiful.
Man, this post makes me look like I need to lay off the drugs.
