Most of the rental 172s are M and N, which have a max weight of 2300. I've flown the M, N and SP and looked at the numbers for the R and even though they are heavier they also carry more fuel and usually have more eqipmen so the difference in payload between them was < 75lb. Biggest difference is that the extra weight gives you more range.
