This has probably been covered many times, but I have been absent from the forum for a year or so now.
What is the benefit of getting a PPL over an LAPL to start flying with? As far as I can tell, the LAPL requires 30 hours, and then if you want to go to PPL, you can use those 30 hours then just get another 15 when needed. Is this correct? I can add night qualification and IMC with the money saved over a PPL, as well as build a few hours.
Those who know of me know my long term goal is commercial license, which obviously can't be done on an LAPL, but at 19, that would be good enough for me.
What am I missing?
Thank you

EDIT: I've just realised I asked a very similar question last year, but the responses were quite vague and as it was a new license, nobody really KNEW what it was all about. I'm hoping for some extra clarity here
Thank you
