Personally, I'll sacrifice a little fuel to be fully configured, with all checklists completed, etc, before 1000 feet AGL. Just feel safer that way.

But, for interest, have a read of the Hong Kong Noise Abatement procedures for late night - early morning arrivals; "...all operators...CDA approach....thrust idle....until touch down..."
