The trouble is you are not going to get to below 200 kts quickly to allow you to select flap 2. You could disconnect the A/P and level-off to reduce speed rather than accept the soft elevator response of the A/P and the 5-700 fpm descent rate you would have while the speed reduces. In the meantime, more track miles are being consumed than need to be. Go down first.
