Why not track the glideslope as indicated by the glideslope indicator?
Maybe it is just me, but surely you find it easier to "nominate" an initial rate of descent once the glideslope has been intercepted and thereafter to make adjustments to descent rate in order to maintain the slope , rather than simply charging up and down the sky hoping to recapture it?

Edit.. all so much easier on autopilot of course..
