I think the above posts say most of it - no problem per se training on the Glass cockpit Cessna, but if you are learning where I think you are (Big grass field with 3 sets of runways) then the cost for the Cessnas is WAY too much to even think of it unless you have money to burn - personally if I was paying what I understand they are charging for these aircraft I would be looking for something a lot better than a 172! In fact, if I could afford it I would train on the Decathlon which I believe the same school has and is a MUCH nicer aircraft for both handling and learning PILOT HANDLING skills as opposed to learning how to "drive" an aircraft and play at Airline pilot
