I'll try keeping a bit of power until touchdown next time. I've been cutting it
just before the flare and it kind of works sometimes and doesn't the next.
What I did learn the hard way very early on, is to not cut it too early. Boy, two
of the worst carrier landings I've done were due to that.

Depending on one's style, one can hold the flare until a high deck angle is
achieved making the touch-down speed real low, thus saving on tires and
brakes. A few inches above the runway is about the only place where one
would want to be in this configuration.
After a bit of practice it is possible to transition into this configuration
in one fluid motion, land on the numbers, hold the nose off the ground for a
while and roll to the first exit without applying brakes.

When I lived in Kansas City, I would watch the A/C from Central Air land back at
Downtown airport on the mains and hold the nose wheel off for over 500' down
the runway until it had to come down. They seem to do it to show off a little.
Two or three aircraft would land and each was trying to keep the nose wheel
off longer that the one before him.
These were 500B's and these were flown 5-6 days a week hauling boxes all over the
midwest.

I suppose this technique would not work on a T-Tail plane, because I would
imagine that the propwash is crucial in keeping the nose wheel off the
tarmac.
Incidentally, power in the flare is required for a STOL-equipped Cessna 210
(perhaps other models, too; it's that I have some hours in one), which are
landed below a regular 210's stalling speed, because once the propwash is
removed from the tail, it stalls immediately slamming the nose wheel into
the ground, damaging the firewall, because the nose strut is mounted on the
firewall. I believe in extreme cases (like cutting power too high off the
runway) it would result in a prop-strike, too.
I like the power on ...
