I'm actually looking forward to experiencing them for my CFI training.

Having said that I will say (and it's been done to death) that if the goal
is to prevent deaths from inadvertent spins I believe the effort is doomed
to failure in that almost all the fatalities occur in the well-know
base-to-final scenario where there simply isn't enough vertical distance to
recover. Better to teach coordination in turns and stall recognition,
recovery.

Also there is the 'practical' side of how many student pilots would we lose
after their introduction to spins. Goodness knows, initial exposure to
stalls is already a big issue with fresh students.
