Most pilots who dislike the ground speed mini function do so because in strong headwinds the high TAS near touchdown causes a very lively reaction to the flare with balloon, long float etc. However the GS is normal and once the a/c is on the ground normal landing distance applies. The answer is probably to fly it on with little flare and get the best of both worlds.
