Actually I don't believe this is the case because reduced take-off power inevitably increases the time to reach optimum cruise altitude.

Aside from our choice of max or reduced take-off power, once we're in the air, we then have a choice of max climb (max performance) or reduced climb. We choose one dependant on ATC compliance,/ or obstruction clearance, /or for conserving EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature). Hotter (hard working) turbines make for shorter Turbine TBO's (Time Between Overhauls).
