Same as above. Our stabilised approach criteria says we must be configured with landing checklist complete by 1000ft, speed can be high but must be trending back and be stable by 500ft.

I would arrive at 6DME with gear down flap 20 and 4DME fully configured with the landing checklist complete but still doing 160 kts. Then at 4DME (or about 1200ft) I'd set the final approach speed. 700ft is enough to get within 10 kts of the bug.
