Microlites? Aye or Nae?

Are there any microlite pilots out there?

I am keen on taking up flying as a hobbie but unfortunately I'm not the wealthiest guy around so am put off by the "£100 an hour" Cessna 172 rates at my local airport.

I have been advised to look into obtaining a Microlite license, as this can be considerably cheaper, approx £30 an hour.

What are people's views on the differences between microlites and Cessnas etc? No rude comments about flying lawnmower engines please, have heard them all before.
