Huh? Please elaborate. I’ve flown both, and I thought them to be the same airframe, just O-320 engine in the Warrior and O-360 in the Archer, a 20-hp difference. I don’t know them to be different, but if they are, I would expect the Archer to be a bit busier at power-on stalls, but no different with power off. I certainly prefer their tapered wing to the earlier Cherokee wing (commonly called a Hershey bar wing, its shape resembling the chocolate bar, and with similar drag characteristics).
