Don,

 

I love Coupes but even after the $25k rebuild, it’s still 60 year old metal.  Some schools which have tried Coupes for Sport Pilot training have given up due to maintenance and parts cost.

 

And, even though the Festival is heavy for its class, its useful load is similar to Coupes.

 

Let them fly Festivals for training.  Then they can buy Coupes for fun flying.  Our 60 year old gems are great for personal ownership.
