I'm landing MUCH better -- and consistently -- with 3/4 flaps or slightly less (5/8s?). Probably adds 1 knot to stall speed, but adds to safety by removing the twitchiness of the last 50 feet.
The P2008's constant travel flaps are terrific that way. For me, at least, there's no reason to be locked into the half flaps / full flaps regime.
I'm also using slightly less than 1/2 flaps abeam the numbers. More like 3/8s.
Has anyone else tried this?

I use 13/16ths for approach and 31/32nds to land. Pretty sure that optimal.

I aim for 60 kias over the fence.
Maybe twitchiness isn't the right word. Overly sensitive to pitch changes, and more P factor will full flaps. My typical landing headwinds on RW 20 at KWVI are 5-10 knots at 240-degrees. Half flaps or slightly more work better for me than full flaps.
