For me, the priority is the threshold, not the cycling of the throttle. A gentle touchdown is a bonus.
Unless you are doing heavy duty Short Field work I would not focus too hard
on the threshold, but rather a few 100' beyond for safety margins.
On big airplanes we aim 1000' down for little jets and 1500' or more for big jets.
