Depends what you want.

If you want

(a) to book a lesson and turn up at the airport and expect to fly it without being told to go home because they don't have a non-broken plane left

(b) aircraft with all the electronics working (not that much of an issue for PPL training maybe, but you might well care a lot more when hiring after licence issue)

(c) home landing fees included

(d) a choice of instructors at least some of whom aren't hours building kiddies

(e) ect ect (other stuff along the "quality" axis)

then it will cost you more than if you fly 40 year old old bangers which are quite likely to go tech at no notice and don't have working navigation instruments even on a good day.

Your choice. Plenty here would choose one, plenty here would choose the other, there's no right answer that suits everybody.
