I think the differences come from corporate pilots not understanding that flying large jets is different than smaller ones. Many lighter jets are capable of fl500 or near it. Large jets are not at any weight. Acceleration/decceleration take longer in large a/c and v-speeds tend to run higher. The v-1 decision is made by the time you reach that speed not when you reach that speed. It is already a go at that point.
