I have flown both 172's and Cherokee 140's..... Both are easy to fly although they both feel like a bus at the controls compared to my little 4 seat Piper Pacer. I would generally prefer the 172 over a Cherokee "140" for my type of flying which typically involves short grass runways. I have a 2500' grass strip at home and I would think twice about trying to fly a Cherokee "140" off of it with 4 large people aboard on a hot summer day..... No problem with a 172.

That said, my wife's boss is thinking of selling his Cherokee 140 if you are interested. I don't know what he is asking, but it has a low time engine with great compression and somewhat recent paint. I have done the last several annual inspections on it. My guess is that he would want somewhere between 30k and 40k for it.
