Tips on flying T-tail arrow wanted

I will be renting a T-tail Arrow IV (non turbo) next week and plan to be flying it in to a 2000 ft runway on a daily basis. I have flown the Arrow III before but I understand that the IV is a little different and have been warned that it wants to land nose wheel first unless the approach is flown at a higher airspeed that the previous Arrow models. Clearly I don’t want to have a high approach speed on a 2000 ft runway and neither do I want to be landing on the nosewheel.

I shall be grateful for any tips or suggestions from somebody who is familiar with flying this particular type of aircraft.
