I agree your sentiments and if you do not have AoA then you naturally
compensate.

absolutely right, anywhere between 15 ft altitude and zero, the visual 
cues are all you need. However it's the earlier stages from base leg to 
late finals where AoA is more useful and ASI is less useful, (imho, I 
don't have your or Fergs' experience, or Ivan's come to that) I speak as 
a not very current, not very intuitive pilot but with some painful 
experience. It would be nice if I can save someone from making my 
mistakes again.
