When I was on the 747 Classic freighters if we were up around the 285 tonne max landing weight I'd start the flare when the 30' auto call was made and leave the approach power on until the nose had pitched that 2° pitch more up, then pull the power off and it'd settle nicely.
Down around the 180 tonne mark, cut the power at the 20' call and pitch, etc.
