If your needs include resource planning and optimization look at Spider Project http://www.spiderproject.ru/demo_e.php.
If not then MS Project is good enough.
I cant speak for P6 specifically but P3.1 (the old version) would be, I think, too esoteric for your needs. P6 is a complete rewrite though, so its very possible that they have much more accessible interfaces for lay-people to use without the need for extensive training.
For managing the works of a team of 25 (25 actually executing the work, or are they managing subcontractors etc?), I would think MSP would give you enough of what you need. It has the dual advantage that it is largely intuitive and often bundled with an organisations MS Office install.
tbh, though, if I have something very simple to schedule, I use Excel, its fast and simple and everyone understands it. Of course you need to maintain all logic yourself...
