More likely 30 to 50 seconds depending on you approach speed.
Not disagreeing with your point, just your math.
I'm not looking at it from a VSI perspective. Just highlighting the time difference from 1K to touchdown if stable at 1K vs stable at 500'. If that didn't clear up the confusion, I'll be happy to show my math. Sorry for not being more clear about my point.
