Why didn't you query approach about getting lower sooner so you wouldn't be in the position to have to do that?

This line of bickering will lead to thread closure. Neither of these posts have anything to do with speed differences between the Dash and the X in any phase of flight. If you wish to start a discussion about approach profiles or loss of SA in general - please take it to the PMs.
