According to Baer's Avodas Yisroel
"V'imru Amen" does not belong at end of Amidah. Ayein at end of amidah
of Shacharis

Similarly, Rambam has merely "amen" as a siyyum - no "V'imru"



See Ben Ish Chai
Nitzavim I:2

"Al yassim magamaso negged hameisim ela yispallel l'Hashem [sic]
...
Vyachol lehistatei'ach al qever hatzaddiq v'yomar: hareini mevakkesh
minnefesh hatzaddiq haqqavur Poe Sheyitpallel Alay lifnei HKBH kach
v'kach..."

Ayein sham
