Interesting, if one were on the ILS and becme visual at 1,000' would you continue on the GS or become a competant pilot and aim to land on or close to the numbers? Biggin has a clear final approach and is downhill, seems a good idea to me to land as early down the runway as possible, LBG has a convenient taxiway half way down the runway, makes easy access with an early touchdown. Each to their own but I prefer the numbers on a good day to much further down. One of the useless things in aviation is the "runway behind you" especially in the event of a brake failure which I have had.
