Maule might be better if you are flying around Eire, land of the airstrip, VFR (I see your location says Dublin). Make sure you get some quality instruction from someone who knows the type. There is a bonus too in that they are still made (same factor applies to Piper and Cessna) so parts are relatively easy to come by, though the family-run factory can mean they are a bit relaxed on the customer service side. Not a great stable IFR platform by the way.
Any metal Robin/TB is going to cost more ££££s in parts.
