Defo go for the PPL, as for the pro pilot....be realistic with your £££ as there are so many hidden extras that go into not only into the hundreds but also the thousands equipment, exams and fees etc...as for the comment from the instructor "you seem to have a natural feel for it" well, they all say it mate and yes its a sales pitch because they get paid when you fly. Not being negative in any way, its just very important that you dont get romanced into becoming a pilot. If it feels right in your heart then go for it full-on and i wish you the best of luck.
PS. you will absolutly love it
