takeoff low weight , no reduced thrust, high pitch

Hi

I want to know what do you think about this.
Take off without load and low fuel for a short ferry flight.
Meteo Condition: Gusting winds up to 40 kt and light to moderate turbulence. So I prefer not to do a reduced takeoff thrust.

The accelaration will be very fast. So if I want to climb at V2 + 20 my pitch would be 25 degree or perhaps more. And It will require a fast than normal rotation to avoid a faster speed.

In that situation is not better a higher than v2 +20 climb ? The rotation could be smoother and we have a margin to avoid lost of speed due to gusting winds.

What do you think? Or what would you do on such a situation ?

Thank you very much
Ale
