Not really there is nothing special about light aircraft in that bracket to be honest. Transfering to another aircraft type adds to your experence base.
And it also depends if you are hour building or not to go commercial.
Most PPL's fall into the trap that they end up doing the same things as they did in thier PPL. ie a bit of general handling some circuits maybe a nav leg to a local safe airfield for a burger. Then quite quickly they get bored of flying and have better things to spend there money on.
Why don't you for example look at a 4 seater and then plan some overnights with friends. Go to air flields you haven't been before. Split the cost so you can go 4 times the distance than if you had gone by yourself.
In the mean time save up for some aero's/tail dragger hours or next winter a night qual. There are some people who are happy with there local hour a fortnight but not many.
But it all hinges on what you want to do with the aircraft.
