This is a problem for us North of the border and sometimes comes down to the fact that as an approach unit, we are not able to choose the order of the aircraft in our approach sequence as it has been set up this way by our area colleagues. They tend to put a jet in as number one only to hand that aircraft over at high speed and for him on first contact to immediately slam the brakes on whereas you will continue. It can screw us up as well as yourself and at my unit the d328's sometimes come a cropper as well. As you state you will keep your speed up for longer. Things are under way to attempt to standardise approach speeds and routeings which SHOULD already be in force but are not adhered to.

Regards

p.s. It would help us if you got off the runway a bit quicker as well!
