C150 or C172 for ppl ?

Hi,

What are the main differences between a Cessna 150 and a cessna 172?

I was planning to take the PPL in C150 simply because of the lower prices but now Im also considering doing it in a 172.

The price difference is not too much, so it might be worth it depending on what actually makes the 172 a better airplane than the 150. Id appreciate if any one can explain to me the main dfferences between the two...I have worked out the total training cost in a C150 would be £5230 and £5590 in a C172 (at my chosen school)
the difference works out to be £360...

I look forward to hearing from you.
