What little historic or covenantal premil writing I have read has has a lot more to do with what ideas the writer was opposing than with their own views so I don't have much to add to this. However, you appear to have a point in comparing the Christ centered eschatology of premils who uphold the unity of the covenant of grace and the Judeo centric views of Horner and the dispensationalists. (Horner explicitly argues for a "Judeo-centric" eschatology, arguing that anything else fails to do justice to Scripture and leads to anti-Semitism).

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great
virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
