E Morse, my problem with this design decision is if you accidently enter a spin, the best possible outcome will be the loss of the aircraft (since using the CAPS will almost always result in a totaled airplane). The worst outcome could be the loss of your life, if for any reason you fail to use the CAPS (an example is the NTSB report above).
I don't understand why this design decision was made for such an otherwise wonderful airplane.
An interesting AOPA article on the subject.
