Suitable 'Replacement' for a C-172RG...?

I am engaged in a 'discussion' looking for a modern aircraft replacement for a C-172RG.

As I have said in another post,
'It has oft been said that the only replacement for a DC-3, is another DC-3.'

Well, after some research, it seems that the only replacement for a C-172RG, might be another 'lower time' C-172RG.
Nothing else seems to fill the 'niche'....

The 'economics' are becoming fairly well stretched in our search for a 'modern
CSU / retractable' equivalent.

The replacement aircraft type must be suitable for CPL training and be a 'distinct advantage' over the present aircraft.

Any suggestions?

Cheers
