Completely agree - which is why our school doesn't use our Extra 300L for UPRT.
Just as critically, UPRT should ONLY be delivered in an aircraft which has side-by-side seating. Ideally the environment needs to be as similar as possible to the airline cockpit as possible, especially with respect to the CRM aspects of UPRT.
