circuit heights

Am curious to hear of others feelings on the two main circuit heights now used in OZ, 1000ft & 1500ft depending on A/C speeds.(AGL of course)

I'm starting my descent (fm 1500ft) from say abeam the Ldg threshold & "Joe" pilot is beneath me at 1000ft. At some point we will be at the same height prior to Ldg (providing it's a stable app) only I won't see him 'till perhaps right on top of him! All this is of course with perhaps the lower guy not having R/T capabilities in a non CTAF/R


Good subject for debate am sure.
