Apparently they are still working out the details for stormscope installs
in the Cirrus, something about composite and
static discharge issues...

Not correct. The L3 (formerly BF Goodrich) WX-500 stormscope works just
fine in Cirrus airplanes, and it always has. In all models, it displays on
the standard-equipment MFD. On Sandel EHSI-equipped planes, it will also
display on the HSI. Later model planes will also display it on both Garmin
430s.

You're thinking of the Avidyne weather downlink. That's the feature that
Cirrus and Avidyne have been unable to get working satisfactorily, rumored
to be because of static buildup on the airframe. Many Cirrus owners report
excellent results with portable versions of the XM-radio based WxWorx, and
there is speculation that Cirrus will switch to this system.
