C152 vs C150
Mickey Kaye
To answer your question the 152 is a very well sorted 150,a few well placed structual tweeks that avoid some very time consuming work in the hangar, the Lycoming has a little more power and 400 hours more to TBO and the 28V electrics are more reliable.
The only thing that is worse (for me) on the 152 is that Cessna deleated the 40 flap It was the best thing about the 150!
The reason for no 40 flap on the 152 was go around performance so perhaps in veiw of the low time pilots who fly the aiecraft it was a good idea on safety grounds.

Clearly you don't know the PA38 very well it IS a very good trainer! But due to spar life & lack of new parts it is not an economicly viable aircraft for training.
