There is a huge difference in overhaul costs between the Continental O-200
in the 150 and the Lycoming O-235 in the 152. The cost to overhaul the
Lycoming will be much higher.

And reading this months Cessna Pilots Assoc magazine makes you wonder if
Lycoming will be able to stay in business much longer. New list price for
the Lyc TIO-540 is $138K. For the Continental TSIO-520 $51K. Street price
$100K vs $35K. Factory reman list price $86K vs $44K. Factory reman street
price $58K vs $29K. The price of a new Turbo 206 would drop $85K by simply
putting in a Continental. You guys with the regualr IO-540 are getting
ripped off too. New list $72K vs $41K for the Continental IO-470.
