The question is possibly more academic and not really about go around or flare technique. If there was an appreciable body angle difference, wouldn't there be a caution in the manual? However the thread drift is appropriate.
I recall that with an uncomfortable sinking feeling in the flare, selecting a lower rather than increased body angle was sometimes appropriate on a B727-200 and also on A320 & A321, to reduce the rod of the main gear. Not encouraging this as SOP.
