I agree wholeheartedly and practice this every time...

I guess it all boilis down to this:

every landing you make is practice for the tough one...always be on speed, on spot (aim point/touchdown point whatever you like to call it) and make sure to always go right into the stopping drill ....directional control, spoilers, reverse, brakes...monitoring deceleration to your satisfaction.
The only difference I would suggest here is this: after spoilers should come brakes and reverse together. As most of us are aware, reverse is most effective at the highest speed (when used immediately on touchdown), but I've had a reverser deployment problem on touchdown where had I not already started braking, would have necessitated a go around, but as it was, because I was already decelerating steadily with the brakes, I did not need to rely on the reversers.
