LPFR ILS 28

I guess after all is acceptable to complete the turn with both versions, either with VFA tuned in or the ILS one. In my way of seeing things it makes more sense to switch to the ILS frequency in order to have the final course set in in the HSI, for example, and guarantee that you are a bit more ahead in everything to be set up. One problem I do see with the VOR frequency version is the final course you have to set in, we would assume is the ILS one, but clearly the VOR is not aligned with the localizer, so we would have a slight difference thant in the moment we switch to the localizer frequency would translate in a bit of a localizer jump. I know I am being picky, but we do fly this approach with a helicopter in our company and at those reduced speeds (compared to airliners) you have a lot more time to "enjoy" this differences.....
