Cockpit design, space and comfort are BIG selling features on the Cirrus - "9 out of 10 pilots partners prefer them!" :-)
Seriously 1000's of Cirrus sold in the last few years - not only to their pilots, but to and with the support of 100's if not 1000's of 'other halves'. It's not only the chute they like.
The market for "speed-freaks" who desire to have the fastest SEP is a lot smaller, as are the associated cockpits, and the number of partners who can also either 'buy' or fit into them.
Great to have competition and choices like these in GA.
