Yeah look we're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't. If we crash half the aviation community is going to say, why didn't you stop, the other half is going to say why didn't you fly it away. It comes down to pilot in command decision which should be made as a consequence of good training. Personally, I would'nt like to be rejecting a takeoff from 100kts unless I was taking off from an 1800m plus runway. propsforever, you're all over it spot on.

I should have mentioned if you do VR go, you need to know something about special procedures, flight path and obstacle clearance. It hasn't gone un-noticed that few pilots in this class of aircraft have little to no knowledge about that.
