Training aircraft

Good evening all,

I am looking for some advice/opinions on the following. I was looking to take up training in a C150, but according to the CFI at my chosen FTO (Not one of the large ones) they like to use the C152 for training, and leave the 150's for hour building. The reason he gave me is that the 152 has a higher cruise speed, and also is perfect for short takeoff/landings. Is there actually much difference between the two in terms of learning?

I would have liked to have done it in the 150 as it's cheaper, which will allow me to build up more hours/landings etc for the same amount of money.
