Cough keep in mind the aero forces on the flaps have different effect whether you are retracting or extending. Another point to consider, during GA there is no simultaneous movement of flaps and L/G. Not even of L/G doors (which are dropping down anyways).
madcow1 read that in the context of the full sequence: F2 at 2000 ft AAL. Delaying the L/G call afterwards is not really an option to meet the stabilization criteria. Moreover, F2 initially create a small speed increment and speed reduction is debatable. Only taking the gear out without delay slows you down, which helps to reduce loads on flap mechnanism more quickly.
Notwithstanding the fact that on airports where 180/160 speed control is applied, following the Airbus decelerated SOP is not a workable option.
