It's always subjective but the 172 felt,to me, a bit "nose heavy" on landing by comparison with the 150. As the earlier 172s are prone to nose-wheel shimmy,it's not a bad idea to keep the weight off the nosewheel as much as possible and definitely don't arrive nosewheel first. Otherwise they do just what it says on the tin.
