HD,

I think the Fod risk is sufficiently low as to not be a problem. Having done a couple of high speed aborts in my career I live by a phrase my 1st QFI taught me very early on in my training.

Runway behind you is as much use as a chocolate fire guard. (And other variations!).

In the commercial world there are often good reasons for not going to the end for take off, and I sometimes do turn on early. But if it is possible I like to use as much runway as possible.
