W S T. 26 years of flying airline 'frames, I have NEVER had one which is anywhere near stick free between unstick and above V2 with ALL engines operating, let alone 1 engine out. Admittedly these craft have been conventional FBW, the steel wire type!
Always to trim I have had to trim nose up, never found neutral nor the slightest need for nose-down trim.
Hopefully some test-pilot type will spot this thread and put us right, in the meantime make sure you've had a good breakfast before rotation and it's a good idea to eat the cereal boxes as well, allegedly it builds up the biceps (ripping the boxes into flakes) making the physical task easier?
