> I have never gotten a buffet or a sharp break in the several "clean"
stalls I have done. Requesting comments <

Pre stall buffet is a few knots to nil.  Full stall characteristics vary
considerably with entry speed, deceleration and CG.  Ailerons are not
effective at the lower pre stall speeds.  Full stall recovery altitude loss
varies between 50 and 600 feet.

During my test flights, I decided that the last 1 inch of the recommended
CG range  was not where I would want to practice stalls.  Consequently, the
last 1 inch of CG range is resistricted and actually I have found that
there is no reason to operate there anyway.

Approaching stalls at different deacceleration rates, wing loadings and CGs
produce different results.  I believe that the post stall behavior can be
catorgized as well behaved classic, diving spirals, and spins.  The
recovery from each is different.
