I haven't had much opportunity to let the plane manage the decel. It's mostly impractical here in the US. The few times I have used it, it always seems to slow down WAY too early, and I wind up intervening so we don't drag gear and full flaps in from 10 miles out. I've tried it at local and foreign airports, and it always seems overly conservative.
