Comparison of 172 & Cherokee 180

[AdamZ]

How does a 1969 172K with a 180hp conversion compare to a 1969 Cherokee 180?

I'm thinking the following areas might be good comparisons:

Fuel Burn
comfort/space
Speed
Useful Load
Short field & Takeoff Roll

Thoughts?

EDIT!!!!!! I am not looking for which one is better or which one you like more or whether high wing or low wing is better. I'm asking what are the real differences in the two planes!

Again I"m not asking a "whats your preference" question, I'm asking for a comparison!

Well, there is this:
