Hi Sprinbok 449
Hope the big bus and world travel is treating you well! I tend to agree with you that GS mini can catch you out - as you say say, selecting 160kts until 4nm is a good way of dealing with the problem. I see all these features as essentially just tools in the box to be used as required. Like all good tools they have moments of greatness and other moments when they are not quite the right fit for the job and improvisation is required! The secret is making the tools no longer a secret! Once you understand them and know their strengths and weaknesses you can use them appropriately to make the best job - such is the case with GS mini.
