My experience is limited but never I had problems sticking to Airbus suggested procedure, S speed at G/S intercept and getting dirty at 2000 AAL. Stable at 1000. ATC requests permitting, of course. Inbetween 42t and 75t, even with some tail-wind it works like a charm. (studying FCOM for FAPs below 2000 AAL needed).
Descending along GP with F2 and selected 180/160 never made any sense so far.
