India Four Two - I wouldn't make the fuel drains thing an issue.
Only 3 to deal with on a PA-28.
A new-ish Cessna has about 13 and the ones under the engine can cause a fair bit of crawling around to loocate. .... not to mention the need (depends on whether the owner is happy with 18 stone scrambling up his 172 stepholds) to find a stepladder to check the wing tanks.
I'd go for the money saving and get a 152 to chuck about a bit. Spend some of the saving in a couple of hours converting to whatever you want to fly next.
(And have enough left to do a couple of hours on something sexy like a Cirrus).
