Electrical smoke/full spoilers

Let us put a different twist to the original question for a moment

If you really had to land quickly with a bad electrical fire/smoke, getting from bad to worse

Stabilized at 300 ft.60 tons (320).no wind.isa.A-320.
You are as 10,000 ft 250 knots

What would be your minimum track miles.

For the experts out there.

Autopilot off
Full spoilers.
Gear down.
Start configuring without exceeding flap speeds.
Get configured.

You would come down like a rock.

Gear down -flaps 3.spoilers out

your ROD would be ?

As someone said " exerience"
