Getting a recreational certificate is also an option, seems to me.
With a bit of footwork, for the GA pilot without Bonanza ambitions,
there's little practical difference. Wouldn't be able to fly at night,
across open water (10 miles I think it is), or out of the country.

....or above 10'000 feet or in controlled airspace or in aircraft
with more than 4 seats or with more than one pax and with a
sh*load of other restrictions (additional endorsements etc.) all
that for pretty much the same amount of work (and cost) as a
private; a private with non night flying would be equivalent
with what Europeans content themselves...

if radio goes nordo, you simply head for the nearest uncontrolled
airfield, no problem;

I fly in controlled airspace whenever I like. All it takes is an
endorsement. As for 10,000 feet, do you think that a 59-year-old Cub
can really get up there? The views are all down here, anyhow.

Find a nice cumulonimbus and not only will that Cub climb to 10,000', you'll get
a view you're not likely to forget.
