RatherBeFlying has a valid point re gliders versus power and their glide ratios compared to powered. Flying a brick and your options are more below you flying a glider further afield.
The brick will probably also have a much higher stall speed hence your speed into anything hard will be faster.

To be clear that we are talking the same language are you saying that having selected your landing area that you commit to that landing area regardless of of how your flight profile changes or how the landing area changes?
Higher up the area may appear good but as you come lower not good.
Your profile might change not only through misjudgement but also through changing winds, shear etc.
You may be too low and undershoot your landing site but equally too high! meaning even with slip a faster approach speed, a late touchdown point and the possibility of departing your landing area at speed.
I cannot stress enough the dangers of fixation on one plan. In a PFL you should always have in mind the worst case and be constantly watching for other options if your main plan fails to work out.
