Perhaps it is worth mentioning that the background for this change of sop is to avoid the early alt capture as mentioned by Open Climb
Also, in the subsequent Go-Around following this early alt capture you don't have a go-around altitude selected. Bags of fun on RWY 18R at AMS with a 2000'AA and someone just airborne from RWY24.
I like the idea of selecting an altitude above your aircraft as opposed to 1000'AAL. To take it a step further it would be even better if you're able to select the GA altitude.
