Your going to have to put a huge amount of training into a springer cocker if you want it anywhere near obedient - if youve never owned either of the breeds before id say get a purebred first. They are not as dramatic a dog as youve had experience of - they simply need good ownership and plenty of training, once theyve got this youve basically got a great versatile pet. But a springer cocker is a very (huuuuuge) big challenged id say... 
(they have the looks of a small and unassuming dog which is misleading, they infact they like nothing better than tearing apart an ache of greenbelt lol their looks could easily catch you out)

I would certainly hang on to every word of the post above, it makes a lot of sense, some people will have had this mix and done very well but they will have had to put in a hell of a lot of work, unless they have been incredibly lucky.
