Agree you want the tail up ASAP for good forward vision and a more effective rudder (it's out of the slipstream to some extent when tail down).
But if you've a heavy back seater and little or no headwind you can be pushing the stick forward for quite a while before the tail comes fully up. This 'feels' wrong for me; I'd rather delay (it's only for a few seconds) until I've got some airspeed (don't ask what - I'm not looking at the ASI, but I know from the stick feel when she's ready to go tail-up). Once she's got that speed the tail comes up crisply. It just feels horrid staggering along holding the stick hard forward with the tail reluctanly hovering a inch or two off the ground and ever so slowly rising.
As I say, solo or in a good headwind she's ready to go tail up as soon as the power goes on.
