I'll fly econ speeds throughout the flight (generally 270 kts in decent on the 757) and I will do this unless ATC require me to fly another speed.
If other aircraft are following at a higher speed (like you babe) then ATC will either ask me to speed up or you to slow down - likely scenario is that you will have to slow down - I can't see what the problem is.
When you arrive in a TMA where most of the airlines are flying econ decent speeds (i.e. London, Amsterdam etc) then it might be easier if you followed a similar speed profile.
BTW the difference in descent speeds that you are concerned about makes about 1 minute max to the flight time.
