Probably as allways depends on type or even variant. In a 737 800 i do not see any problem even with SOP required gear extension at 2000RA and 1000ft established (configures, checklist done, >40% N1). However in a -700 it is a completely different kind of game as Vrefs are so slow with usual values between 110 and 125kts (F30), nearly impossible to get that right with 170 to 5 if you have stringent SOP restrictions.
