Accelerating to Vfto on single engine climb

Hi,

When accelerating to Vfto (Vfs) after a V1 cut, do you guys teach to lower the nose or to level off?

Boeing 737 FCTM, as far as I recall, recommend lowering the nose significantly while preventing the a/c from descending. Hence, a very light rate of climb (100-200 fpm) is permitted as opposed to pressing ALT and allowing the a/c to balloon in order to capture the altitude selected when pressing ALT.

What is your opinion? References would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
