Default NACA2412 vs CLARK-Y - Trainer

Hello to everyone and thanks in advance for your supoort! I am planning to build a new balsa trainer based on the Great Planes Perfect Trainer 40. The idea is to create a versatile Trainer. I he heard that Clark-Y (Default airfoil with the trainer) is easy to build but missing some features of more advanced airfoild like NACA2412. I do not have any probles for building with another profile but I would like to know your comments or suggestion to changing the airfoil. Am I losing or wining something with either of them? AoA will be the recommended one in the original design +2-+3 dregrees.
The idea is to provide more felxibility to that trainer.
All your comments and suggestions will be welcomed.
Thanks!
Dino
