Dave, keep going and get it done. Assume you have the written done already?
Problem with the training aircraft is that all the makers, especially Cessna totally stopped making them for almost 15 years due to the frigging lawsuits. Finally we got some legislation that allowed them to build aircraft without taking on 50 years of past history and they started making them again. That means that while there were no new airplanes built all these years the ones the flight schools had really flogged them.

As far as flying in Feb when you get back or not, sure, go for it. The performance of the airplane is MUCH better with colder weather and you might as well get going.
Spend the extra money for the 4 seater as you will feel more comfortable in it and its more stable. Then you can try a 2 seater later on and see which one you like the most.
As for "16 Right" get a copy of it and enjoy. Most pilot shops have it but make sure you get the right one. They sold a lot of HD versions early on that would not work on a normal machine.
Here it is on Hulu... Hulu - One Six Right - Watch the full movie now.
