Welcome MR172,
I wish I had had the Chipmunk experience, but sadly they are not commonly available in Canada. For the many people I have know with Chipmunk time, they speak very highly of them. Certainly go fly one if its available to you.
You will find that generally, Pipers and Cessnas are okay to fly, but they make up for in quantity, what they lack in charm to fly. That said, fly as many types as your are able to get your hands on...
