The Cherokee 6 is a fixed gear, six place Piper. The Lance is retractable, but
also, for a period,was built with a T tail. The T tail stabilator is too small
and, being out of the prop wash, is relatively unresponsive at slow airspeeds
and can be a real handful for even experienced pilots. I'd recommend that you
stay away from the T tail Lance. The normal configuration Lance is a nice plane
to fly, however.

On the other hand, the Cherokee Six is a real work horse and a nice plane to
fly.

Other than that, basically the same plane.
