(a) for close in obstacles, min V2 will give the best obstacle clearance as you can't go slower and any increased V2 will compromise the clearance.

(b) for distance obstacles, min V2 definitely is NOT the way to go - refer to the use of improved performance/overspeed V2 takeoff schedules.
I am confused, doesn't this just confirm what I wrote?

I would appreciate if you cared to elaborate a little on this, I am not sure if I understand:

The OEM's interest is to sell aircraft and one measure of considerable importance is field length requirement which, in turn, is critically dependent on speed (V2).
Thanks
