I'm the same way with my Glasair.  I have flown it to the onset of buffet, but 
I'm not going to play with the possibility of a spin.  Stalling a spam can is 
a different world than stalling these slick planes.  My Pulsar would stall at 
a slow speed, but do the characteristic "fast glass" wing drop no matter how 
much rudder and how level you tried to fly it.  The guy I got the Glsair from 
only took it to a buffet as well.  I don't approach at speeds even close to 
the stall, and I am still able to land very short if I need to.  I just see no 
need in playing with fire.  I'm sure there are many different opinions, but 
this is just mine.
