I found it very interesting to read how things changed between your first and second posts, and although you say you have neutral feelings towards the ifa the status of MIFA is clearly worth a lot more than AIFA to you and your company.
The idea of either marketing yourself as AIFA or as MIFA equivalent poses interesting questions relating to the huge breth of categories. I do an AIFA equivalent job and despite being vastly more experienced than a number of others i know who hold the title if i applied to the ifa i would have to apply at PIFA level which i have no intention of doing as i feel it misrepresents my abilities.
I feel that in finantial terms there is little point joining at any level below mifa
