Cheers des, these are simular thoughts to mine.
I think you know youve nailed the approach speed when you flare and the mains touch down with minimal float/flare - it all happens sort of in one action. I naturally land tail low (i think due to previous tailwheel experience), which im sure has its pros and cons, but at least it guarantees a minimal speed at touchdown - just judging the point where the aircraft will cease flying is the main challenge, i recon.
