As I mentioned before the wow effect is really nice. Nice music and nice views. I will try the same configuration in my next flight. On the flaps I see the advantage of using take off flaps o take off, but on landing why?

Simply personal preference.

The added lift lowers the stall speed a bit, and unlike full flaps there isn't as much drag in the flare. As a result, the bottom doesn't fall out as quickly in the flare at idle power, and I can always seem to have a nice, soft touch down.

I still use full flaps for short field landings for the slightly slower approach speeds.
