Your choice, the aircraft owners too I hope. You may change your mind when you have to go around in a hurry. Kangaroos, sheep, cattle, etc will make you do that.

Now back to my question of "Please Explain?" for your statement...

I believe someone mentioned using beta to control descents. Not a good idea.
"Are you serious?" is just not making me understand why. We are talking about beta here NOT reverse.

P.S. touch down speed should be the same whether the engine is in ground idle, flight idle or not running at all. Stall speed is independent of what the engine is doing. You seem to be to be associating airspeed directly with engine speed. It depends on what position the power lever is in.
