I know of more cirrus aircraft that spun into the ground than "handled beautifully at slow speed" and came in for a successful emergency landing following a loss of power or getting too slow. This isn't a cub with a little bit of fuel and a dead stick landing should only be attempted in some rare cases IMO when you have the option for a guaranteed "walk-away". Too many idealistic things we teach and practice with emergency landings that don't always happen in real life.
Call me scared or whatever, but I don't see as many successful off airport landings of aircraft like the cirrus. Not that it can't be done, but I'd take a 95% chance of walking away as opposed to an 80% chance of safely sticking the landing and waking away with no more injury comparatively.
