I don't use the electric trim in my turbo arrow either, its hard to get the
plane trimmed using it because its to easy to over trim.

Errm.... have you ever sat in a Cirrus (either kind)? There

fwiw in my plane (182RG) I never use the electric trim,
partly because it doesn't work very well and partly because
I've just never got into the habit. (Funny, because the couple
of times I flew a Mooney Bravo it seemed like second nature
to use the electric trim).

the electric trim is so fast you can't trim the plane for hands-off
flying (and therefore have to use the autopilot) IS.

what's wrong with the manual trim...
