Here is a thought for you Wally Forky and Buzzy.

If as Wally asked you get to the minima at say 700 and commence a MA and it quits, chances are you are most often runway aligned, and you will break out albeit below the minima but eventually visualwith a runway lose by and a few hundred feet to salvage something. That is not a lot different to a VMC EFATO, except you might have the failure and be visual with a whole runway ahead of you at 400' and not behind you.

Food for thought.

Of course a night in IMC arrival off an NDB/VOR/DME/GPS which is not runway aligned may present a less favourable view, but as Forkie just said, keep the Night IMC stuff to a minimum.
