jag--From the tone of your initial post, it sounded like this was just another operator trying to do things on the cheap--without regard for safety. (No shortage of those types, unfortunately.)
Have fun, the 450 is a blast. As for studying, I'd just play the game and get your type in the V as if you were going to fly it, then study your a$$ off during 450 differences. I found the real issue in the 550/450 initially was information management. You have so much available to you (I feel blind now...) that, invariably, you will have the wrong screen at the wrong time--and no time to screw around to fix it.
Someone else may have said it already, but the GX50's should have been a separate type rating. OR...they should not grandfather the 450 onto the GV type. But as it is, it's not a great situation. Good luck. TC
P.S.--Don't believe the press on the EVS. Just use it like a VERY expensive sunshade like the rest of us.
