I pondered the same question today
Saw the 06015G25 which was right down the runway. Still decided against a PA28 in that simply because the air speed could vary quite wildly in it.
Went to the club and saw lots of people flying in it. Should've, could've, but then what happened if the gusts were a bit stronger and a few 10s of degrees off ? Would've been well and truly fuxored.
