I also just recently learned that the brake has no effect with an idle set. (don't know why I didn't figure this out before) Why would an idle be desired, except for some prop wash in a stall turn, which I now just add a few clicks of throttle to achieve?

If you are running an ESC with proportional brake, then idle probably won't help. However, if you don't have a propotional/programmable brake, then a motor idling provides more drag on downlines than one that is stopped.
