All correct, but on the 744 while at higher autobrake settings the nose does want to come down, its up to you to 'fly it' gently onto the runway. If you want to hold it off some effort is required, but I feel better braking and more importantly, directional control is with it on the ground. I am not a fan of 'aerodynamic braking' due to risk of tail strike if you over cook it. Also our company only selects reverse with the nose wheel on the ground. Again follow the manual and SOPs, you cannot go wrong. The 727 has nose wheel brakes, for example, not much point having the sharp end in the sky.
