Glen, just a guess: Check the nose strut for proper hydraulics. I had mine on the M10 serviced recently, and it makes all the difference. Turned out that there was no oil in it at all. Before that, landings were more "arrivals" than smooth touch-downs. Now things are as soft as butter, and I did not change the technique.
