Piper Tomahawk or Cessna Skyhawk?

Hello all,

Just a quick ask for your opinions on a decision I am going to have to make. I am currently training for my PPL (14 hours or so, going solo hopefully next week) in a Piper Tomahawk, and my flying school has just purchased some new Cessna Skyhawks (all glass cockpit etc) which obviously gives me the opportunity to train further in these new and modern aircraft. I obviously wouldn't make the transition between the two aircraft until my solo is over, but I was wondering what your opinions were on training on a full glass cockpit over the more traditional dials? Would it benefit me in anyway at all for the future (hoping to go the commercial route)?

If anybody could give me their opinons on this it would be much appreciated.

Kind regards
