FWIW, I actually like the silent approach. Makes a heck of a lot of sense. I always hated yapping down final anyway.
Funny thing going through training at NATCO... I asked the North Captain, "What's the big deal about the 500' call?" He asked me what I meant? Apparently, all of us South guys think it was a previous NWA callout, and all of the North guys think it was a South callout. Someone on the 4th floor has to be getting a laugh out of this.
