I think most of what CAN be said about the maneuver, has been said already.
I'd just like to add to the discussion the fact that, despite what has been said about there being no safety margin in the maneuver, I think that margin WAS there.
IMHO, the maneuver was NOT executed 100% according to the plan and the aircraft WAS too close to the ground for that sort of bank.
I'm sure both pilots will look at these videos and will think that it was a good thing the maneuver was planned with that safety margin. Because they actually DID need it. I'm sure they planned the aircraft to climb away quicker than it actually did. Notice the slight correction at 29secs into this following video.

So, IMHO, the planned maneuver would have cleared the ground by a few more feet than what we actually saw at Evora. The maneuver was planned with a safety margin and both the pilots and the insurance company will be happy to have done so.
