Sorry, no brainer.

What have you briefed?
What have you been trained to do?
What would you be doing for a living now if you'd rejected after V1 in your last Sim session?

We are go-minded for a reason. A high speed reject, even under the circumstances you outline, is a high-risk manoeuve. Taking it into the air has proven to be the safest option time and again.

Now let's talk about the legal ramifications if you took it upon yopurself to reject above V1 and you ran it into the weeds- Hope the family home is held in trust!!
