I agree with LEM. Even in the air when there is a difference between ASI's, B737 first recall items : disconnect automatics.
So fly manually thrust and attitude.
I am not saying that it would not be a reason to abort TO. All depends on the current speed I guess (pilot's reaction time).
However, a lot of people apparently elect to abort. A few months ago during our yearly Flight Safety course, we were shown a video made by the Boeing cy in which it was said that for the moment the highest number of incidents/accidents happen as a result of an aborted Take-off. We were taught to be GO minded after 80 kts and especially nearing V1 .

Good subject, hope to get some more feedback.
All the best.
