if you can fly something bigger
Could not agree more. I mostly fly a PA32 300 these days. The extra weight that you can carry makes it great for taking a load of mates on longer trips away, which like IO said is much more rewarding than bimbling about your (semi) local skies for a few hours.
Having said that I personaly think it would be better to learn in the 150 than the 172. And I definatley would not bother witha PA38, I can't stand them.
