Flying a 172 or 150/152 is so similar for normal flight that you barely need a conversion. No standard 172 is aerobatic so you should never be going there, 152 Aerobats with the correct seat harnesses and clear roof panels are the only version of the 150/152 that you should be forcing into a prolinged spin, there are only about 200 left in the world, just over 300 were built compared to 10s of thousands of standard 150/152. Yes of course you can spin and recover the standard ones but this is for flight safety, not really supposed to do it for recreation.
