I always learned in the 172 that you should hear the stall horn squawk just as the mains hit the pavement. In the seminole though it was more similar to the erj where you are approaching the runway with power in and basically as soon as you go to idle the airplane will settle very quickly (so you time it and bring the power back gradually with the last bit coming out close to the ground and flaring). I think if you tried to bring a 172 onto the runway with an equivalent amount of power you'd simply be going way to fast.

I don't know though, that's just how I interpreted things through training. I don't remember it being explained.
