Cessna 150 or the Grob G115?

G'day fellas,

I will soon be commencing flying training for my PPL. The flying school which I have chosen operate two different types of ab initio aircraft in their fleet. These are the Grob G115 (x2) and the Cessna 150 (x2), both aircraft are charged at the same price per hour and the landing fees etc are also the same.

I quite like the Grob because of its conventional wing position, however, I've been reading on these forums here that the high wing on the Cessna aircraft types really helps a lot when learning NAV.

I want to choose the aircraft which is both enjoyable and fun to fly, but will give me great skills and a better flying experience for the future. I do intend to eventually go on to do my commercial licence and what not, too.

I'd like to hear your thoughts and experiences, both good and bad, for these two aircraft. And perhaps someone who has been fortunate enough to have flown both types could share their opinion on which aircraft they preferred to fly and why.

Any help and advice will be deeply appreciated.

Many thanks in advanced.
