Cruse speed would be a little higher.
Fuel burn will be about 8.5 gph. How much fuel does the stock 108 have?
Climb will be much better.
Stall speed will be higher without flaps.

Another thing to consider, the CG envelope is smaller for the 108. To be legal you will have to add lead to the tail.

Of course, the relevant structure of the colt is as strong and arguably stronger than the 150. The wing structure is the same minus the flaps. The aerodynamics are the same draw your own conclusions about the practical CG and Vne.
