I believe that the Black Spear scenario is being ugraded from the older version of the HW rules that it was orginally under. Black Spear is a pretty nifty little scenario. I rather like how it walks through and builds up from simple tests, through the various contests, to a final confrontation with augments and feats. Its quite well thought out, I find.
Better yet, its a nice 'primer' on how clans interact with each other which is something that is good for setting the tone of the game. The scenario gives a very good feeling of community and how much the heros matter to them and vice versa.

The scenario in the Demo pack is the first part of "Rising Dark" as its less ambitious and can be put together and run in a much shorter space of time -- always a consideration when you are doing a store demo, I find.
But, if I have a lot of time to do the demos (at conventions or very tolerant shops), I think I'd be running Black Spear.
