I've flown a lot of hours in Archers and Arrows.
You might find that the Arrow disappoints after a well sorted Archer, as pulling back the MP and RPM at 300' or so results in a climb performance inferior to the Archer.
Interestingly, in the States I flew both over some high terrain and preferred to take the Archers.
Having said that, the Arrow is a good conversion machine to retracts, especially if you have lots of Pa28 time.
Minor point, but the straight tails tend to pitch on gear cycling whereas the T tails do not.
