I've flown three trainers, the Tower 40, PT 40, and the NexSTAR Select. Don't ask me why, I just did.. yep, I owned them all (still own the PT 40 and the NexSTAR, sold the Tower 40 which still flys today). All three were great, but the NexSTAR was the superior to all three (in my opinion) and I solo'ed with it.

Right now, we have four students at the club field. Three have NexSTAR and one has a PT-40. All will solo. Who solo's first is difficult mainly because two of the four have previously solo'ed (over 10 years ago) and are re-learning. But, one of the NexSTAR people, a 12 year old boy, is very quickly catching up.

It's fun watching these people progress.
