I understand that completely. When we got our Cherokee 180, I was
almost done with my PPL in a 172. Ended up taking a "safety pilot" when I
went to fly it home. You can bet that was incentive to finally finish my
ticket when I had my "new" airplane sitting on the ramp that I couldn't
fly. I didn't want to throw money at an endorsement, familiarity flying,
etc, etc when I could do that my own self once I got my ticket. Within a
week, I had passed my checkride and gotten comfortable enough in it with a
pilot friend that flies cherokees for me to practice on my own... same
PPL-SEL as the 172.

Now comfortable, I'd like to fly the Cessna again to see what I
truly like better.
