I can't argue about what he says Pull What as I'm not in the same league as a pilot as he but I take your point. I'm just saying what he says.
As to your 'change techniques half way down the approach' again, you are vastly more experienced than me and as someone who flies maybe four or five hours a month I would rather stick to one technique or the other for the whole approach.
Incidentally, said pilot used to frequent these forums and had some input into a similar thread a couple of years ago, might be worth searching it out if you're interested in what he said.
