That seems like very sage advice.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply and welcome.

I'm quite confident in the 150/152 for my mission requirements. I've been spending quite a bit of time in rental 152s since getting my certificate - have only once had need for a larger plane. (As for aerobatics... well, that's another story.) Just unsure as to the differences between the 150 and 152 and trying to ascertain a reasonable price.
