You'll need a complex to get your Comm and CFI which would mean a more expensive plane, more expensive maintainence, and more expensive insurance. However, you can get your Pvt, IR, and CFII in your cheap cessna and also build all the time you need to meet the aeronautical experience requirements, and rent a complex for just enough time to get proficient and for your checkrides.
