Need advice for starting with a 172 or 152

So I am a freshman in college and my ultimate goal is to make it as a
commercial pilot. I was planning to attend Embry Riddle this semester
but decided to defer a year to save money and acquire my pilots
certificate locally around me where its cheaper. My question is whether
it would be worth the extra forty or so on every lesson to fly a 172
over a 142? Keeping in mind where I want to go, would flying a 142 hurt
me overall financially and/or skill wise?

Thanks

The question is, will you and an instructor put a 152 near max gross?

Other than that, I see no difference in basic instruction in either one.

And 60 hours X $40/hour = $2,400.
