I think it's fine - once you have your PPL! ie I don't think it's a
good idea to mix plane types while a student pilot.


Why not? As I posted earlier, I think it is a great idea. I'd flown
two fairly different airplanes before I soloed! And no, I didn't take a
long time to solo.


Because when you're learning to fly - that's what you should be
concentrating on - not learning to adjust and fly a different type
aircraft, as well.


That's part of flying too.


Question back at you: why do you think it's a great idea?


The CFI gets to see if the student is flying by rote or actually being
a pilot


- and another,
since you mentioned it didn't take long for you to solo - how long might
that be:


8 hours to solo, 48 hours to ASEL.
