Good approach, Stu. When I learned to fly (30 yrs ago) my instructor never missed the opportunity to give a student a lesson (often for free) in whatever new aircraft type was around, often throwing in some aerobatics for good measure. By the time I had my PPL I had a real curiosity about different aircraft and their handling. I've never lost my affection for the C-A150 or the C172 (the latter took a whole 45 mins 'conversion') but it dawned on me pretty early that we choose our aircraft for the job at hand, even if the job on a given day is a joy flight around the local patch. I hope you continue to have fun and my only suggestion would be to see if you can hop in a taildragger for a bit. The fact that you know what a rudder is from your P2002 experience will stand you in good stead.
