Cirrus SR22 demo flight

That's not... entirely correct. The POH for the SR-22 says that the
only method of spin recovery is to activate the CAPS (Cirrus Airframe
Parachute System).

How often do spins happen in that class of plane that are at a
sufficient altitude to recover from? I suspect there are very few
Bonanza, Comanche, Saratoga or C210 spins that occur at a high enough
altitude to recover (with or without a full airframe parachute). If I
were buying an aircraft like that, that particular line wouldn't even
figure in my purchasing decision.

Great point, and that's covered in a very informative write-up that
AOPA published a couple years ago:
