its a proper aeroplane
Oh, I'd heard rumours that at 150 may not have been a "proper airplane" for the last 51 years they have been in service...
Janu,
Each type has it's merits, and detractions. Perhaps you should fly an hour in each, and choose for yourself. You've obvioulsy considered the differences, so you'll know what you're looking for. Once you're into your training, fly both. It is very advantageous to be versitile with your flying skills, and not be stuck on one aircraft type. You might spend a few additional training hours, but you'll come out a better pilot for it...
