BTW, my plan is to keep the plane for a very long time. I have no intention on "dumping" it when my training is complete. I have an incredibly patient and supportive wife (hence me joining the club and shopping for a plane) and three small children. If I ever need the two extra seats (which might be 10-15% of the time) I will simply rent a 172. Wife will not fly period! So it most likely will be one of my kids or my father flying with me from time to time. Otherwise, I will be making many business trips in the 150/152 for the mission profile I outlined previously in this thread.
