I would add the following minor points:
-If you are a bit high, the aircraft does descend very well Flap 5, 220kts and speedbrake (some might disagree on the technique).
- If you are in a non-sfp, flap 10 does offer a bit more drag if required... remember 210 kt limit.
-If you enter QNH and descent winds in descent forecast it will help with the aircraft's calculations being more accurate (definately enter correct QNH for a Vnav approach!!)
-On base leg for an ILS, turning the standby attitiude indicator onto apporach will give a much earlier glide path indication than the pfd. Can help with judgement wih regards to CDA whether high or low.
