I remember an accident at Shoreham a student pilot in the circiut was distracted by other traffic, as in landing config speed decayed quickly and he spun in, so an important exercise.
Southend in a C150 I think.

I'd argue that whilst flying the *correct* approach speed is important in both types, they have markedly different aLSS and stall characteristics.
