So, what's wrong with the sharper stall? You just learn to handle it.
According to Ball's Book on Bonanzas the Early Debs don't have any
washout (just a small stall strip) and they do have an abrupt stall
with a strong tendency to drop a wing in the landing configuration.

I have a couple of hunnert hours in Vee-tails and Debs. Believe me, they do
not stall sharply compared with the Emeraude. I think if you read my later
postings in this thread, I was *not* complaining about not being able to fly
the airplane (sorry about the double negative. I will say that it is much
harder to become proficient at detecting an incipient stall. There is
virtually no warning burble.

There are other effects of the abrupt or "clean" stall as well, especially
in departure configuration. You soon learn to stay well away from that
attitude, but you are so uncomfortably pitched up to achieve one, that it's
easy to avoid.
