Well first of all your intercepting the GS at the specified altitude as depicted on the plate and not making up your own plate. Secondly remember what the goal of an instrument approach is.. get under the weather so you can see the airport. If your comfortable doing it the other way I'm sure it'll all be good but this is just the way I've been trained and how I interpret the correct way of shooting an instrument approach. I just don't wanna hear the arguement that being higher is being safer.
