172 or Warrior?

Hi all,

An age old debate the low-wing/high-wing one, I know. However, I'm looking to log some hours again now I can afford to do so, it has been a while and I have hardly flown at all since gaining my PPL just over a year ago.

I'm just looking for some opinion on which I might get more joy from, the 172 or the Warrior? All my PPL training was done on the 150/152, but I want a couple more seats now with a bit more range and speed. I was looking at Almat Flying Club at Coventry as a place to hire as it's not too far away. It looks to be a nice place to be and the aircraft are mostly modern variants, with the Warrior being a III, as well as a 172N and 172SP (too pricey though) being available.

(Long term plan is commercial training towards the right-hand seat, if the opportunity and/or funding ever becomes a reality!)

Thanks for any thoughts.

Jim
