Speak to any aerobatic pilot and they will say spin recovery is better with power as the wash from the prop gives far more control effectiveness than torque promotes the spin. Has anyone seen a student apply full opposite rudder and reverse the spin direction at the incipient stage? I have seen it demonstrated by my aeros instructor, quite something.

Personally I feel you don't have time to mess with the power, centralise controls and see what attitude you come out at, if it's nose up add power and wait, nose down set idle, roll, pull (gently unless you have +6 to play with)
