I'm flying with Chris Scott, his approach is sensable.
BOAC, like the name, is old hat.
GS Mini works well and avoids unnessary THR changes, either automatixc or manual.
Plus you have energy available to overcome that last minute sinking feeling with rapid IAS decrease.
Good points from John_tullamarine
(a) is not the Airbus technique similar in intent to the Boeing approach additives ?
ATC like the higher GS, keeps the traffic flow optimal.
Anyway great discussion topic.
