The compromise to achieve this has been to work 160 kt to 4 nm (which often requires some extra drag) or 170 kt to 5 nm (which then makes stable approach more of a challenge)
Are you sure? Many airlines I've spoken to would prefer 170 to 5 purely because of the increase in the chances of achieving the landing stabilisation criteria. The most common stability gate is at 1000ft, so 170 to 5 only adds another ten knots on to the speed reduction, but gives an extra mile to achieve it.
