WelshFlyer - I believe that all of the Lycoming-engined "150s" are actually 152s(?) Anyway I've only flown the 152, never the 150, so I can't compare them for you. Probably very similar, I would think.
It is amazing how often I hear people claim that they "can't fit" into a 150/152 (I am 6'2" and have never had any difficulty). It seems that this is encouraged by instructors, who would prefer to be logging 172 time. Of course, they're not paying the freight; most students are better off flying the 150/152, which is perfectly adequate for training and is certainly cheaper to rent.

P.S. to instructors: 1,000 hrs of 172 time is
not more impressive than 1,000 hours of 150/152 time.
