I know the Warrior/Archer IIs are supposed to handle better but I do prefer the Hershey bar Cherokees (this one is a Cherokee Archer) and sad to see another come to grief.
In this situation, I'd rather be in a Hershey bar model also.
I prefer the handling of the taper wing aircraft generally, but they do have one vice - they will float a long way in the flare if the speed isn't nailed. I've always found short field landings easier in the earlier type.
