I would go with SSDs assessment of the 150, I have always described it (and the Piper Cherokee and its derivatives) as being designed to go from A-B with minimum interference from the pilot, if that floats your boat then fine, personally I would rather find a bit more cash and fly something like the Chippie or the RV, the RV fits more for me because I do go down South from time to time and dont want to do this at 90kts! If you just want to be in the air and want economy though I would go for a C42, cheaper again and nicer handling!
