RE: Plane Question for Training.
From your choices I would say neither plane is going to be something to learn on. I know that this isn't what you want to here, but it's what you need to hear. Learn on a trainer. No matter how gentle others may tell you that the planes you mentioned are, they aren't a trainer. If you can use your brother's trainer to learn on then that's a great thing, but please don't skip over a trainer. They're called "trainers" for a reason, that's because they are designed to be trained on. Please reconsider your options and learn on a trainer.
Hope this helps
