I'm with Thedude here. Different procedures for different aircraft.
Just because you pull back on the piggyback doesn't mean you have to pull it back to full reverse in one motion. When I was flying a 24 and 31 with reversers, I would deploy them to idle after spoiler extention while the nose is slowly coming down, and not apply power until I got the "two deployed" call from the PM and nosewheel touchdown. When deployed askew, she kept going straight down the runway as long as I didn't pull any power until they were both deployed.
And just to clarify, if the book says none until nosewheel touchdown, then none until nosewheel touchdown.
And to double clarify, I'm not talking about riding wheelies with the TR's deployed either. I also fly the nosewheel down in the lowly little Learjet instead of letting it slam down.
