Interesting that you found it easier to get in and out the Cessna when I found it harder (I'm 6ft3 so not any real difference). I found it hard to fold my legs enough for the Cessna, even with the seat all the way back.
As for price, they are identical. they have 2 172's and 3 warriors, so slightly better availability. they also have a couple of 152s
