The question is, will you and an instructor put a 152 near max gross?

Other than that, I see no difference in basic instruction in either one.

And 60 hours X $40/hour = $2,400.

Yep, what Jim said.

If you were thinking about buying a plane, the answer might be different. I
received all of my private instruction and even took my check ride in a 152.
After that, checking out in a 172 was a one-hour affair. The 152 is still my
favorite plane for local flying and hamburger flights. If I actually wanted to
go somewhere, my choice would be the 172 hands down.
