My employer gave us a fascinating brief and training on takeofff decision making on the A320. The example was EEC in the high speed regime on the 320 which obviously leaves only CAPT PFD/ND and the upper DU.

On a short runway rejecting for this (the warning for which is which is inhibited above 100kts) leads to a runway overrun due to the loss of a large number of stopping devices. The emphasis was Airbus have done the thinking for you in the ECAM and inhibit design, and to trust it. Certainly I (current Airbus captain) wouldn’t consider loss of one side’s displays as “malfunctions or conditions that give unambiguous indications the aircraft will not fly safely” - in this case I think the Airbus FCTM wording makes the point about what you should be considering much better than the Boeing.
