I think you will find that your charts have the extra height built in to the MDA. You just don't realise what you are doing.

you cannot fly a "precision like" CDA to the old MDA and then go around. You must descend below MDA in that case and this is not allowed.

I would suggest comparing your company minimum on one of these approaches with a standard MDA from a company who dive and drive.
