we are an A330 Operator and airbus and co policy for Go around is, TOGA to 1500ft then accelerate. For two engine scenario my view is this is correct

To broaden the discussion a little: there are MAA's of 2000' agl. Applying full TOGA until 1500' will make the level off quite a challenge, especially in manual flight. What thrust does a G.A. from a multiple AP approach give? In B737's it's generally about 90% or <2000fpm. This is enough and controllable. IMHO full TOGA, all engines, is a scenario where there is too much power and I wonder if the a/c is under full control as it races skywards. If you can do a reduced thrust takeoff from well down the rwy then surely you can do a reduced G.A safely, allowing for all the gradient %'s as discussed.
