Yeah, I can't say I had any trouble with side stick. I've got a lot of Citabria time with a stick, so no big deal. It took about 2 minutes for me to get used to it. fits very naturally with my arm on the armrest.

My wish is for higher landing weight. The gross weight is fine for me, two plus bags is never a problem. The landing weight takes a little thinking though, especially if tankering fuel.

There is no manual trim. I have practiced the worst case scenario at CAART with simulated trim failure at maximum limit and A/P out, partial G1000 panel failure, under the hood ILS to minimums. It was tiring, but entirely doable. I would never take off with failed trim though.

The speed brake switch and TOGA button are in the right place for me, within a fingertip at full throttle. Go-around is full throttle, tap the toga and confirm speed brakes are down. Guess it is a preference thing, but I like it there.

Flew to BQ1 today in Cirrus. Great fly in BBQ in central NC
Paved 2500 ft runway with smooth grass for parking.
Shut down and walk a whole 50-100 yards to restaurant.

Today a TTX landed a bit after me.
As I was about to depart I noticed pilot was walking back to his bird.

I tried to get him to trade his side stick and prop controller for my side yoke and coupled throttle/prop but alas...no luck.
