Thanks all.
I might actually do as you suggest, take the PPL instead and possibly downgrade if I feel there is a period when I don't fly as much.

This leaves me at three questions
1. What is the reactivation procedure from an LAPL to PPL, if you have earlier held a PPL?
2. The SEP and TMG category as you mention, does that mean that there is no lower weight limit, e.g. can it be a 2-seater 260 kg Ikarus C42 and still counted as LAPL hours?
3. Does the LAPL and PPL have the same aircraft type requirements to keep the currency requirements?

The reason for asking is that I am mainly interested to fly lighter aircraft, and don't want to have to fly a PA28 12 hours every year just for the sake of it. I want my lighter aircraft hours to also count.

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I might be waaay confused here
