Europa XS monowheel

Hi folks. I'm just about to finish my PPL and am wondering what to do next. I have the option of a share in a 172 - which I understand will be similar to the 152 I learned in. However, I also have the option of getting into a Europa XS monowheel. I don't intend to do anything more than VFR flying for the next few years, so the PTF vs CofA issue isn't that important to me.

Im attracted by the running costs of the Europa but am wondering how hard I will find it to transition from the tricycle to the monowheel configuration. Am I being over ambitious here - shoudl I just go for the 172?

Any advice / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Simon
