Cool C152 vs Tecnam 2002

Hi all, I've been a regular non-posting visitor to this site for many years. I've never had any reason to post anything because there is so much good info on here already.

I was looking for some opinions...which would you prefer to learn in, a C152 or a Tecnam 2002JF? I'm about half way in my PPL training (25 hours) 90% of which has been in a C152.

The school recently got rid of the C152 and replaced it with Tecnams. I live a similar distance to another school with a C152, but the hourly rate is £25 more than the new Tecnams in my current school.

Has anyone flown both these aircraft and care to comment on which is a better trainer (if either)?

I had been considering moving to the school woth the C152.....But would I be mental to pay £25 an hour more for an aeroplane that is 34 years older than the new Tecnams?
