I go for the exact three-point attitude, and bring the stick hard back only when I have touched down.
Lowtimer,
This obviously works very well for you, but the danger in general of bringing the stick hard back AFTER three-pointing is of increasing the angle of attack of the wing, thus increasing lift and causing one of those fifteen foot taildragger bounces.
You may be right -- it may well be the heavier engine which makes the difference. It is a much heavier aircraft and I think it does benefit greatly from the flaps for that reason.
