If there is only one engine that goes quiet soonish after take off and no Martin Baker letdown option things are likely to be a bit busy. Doing mental arithmetics to add elevation to the QNH is one more thing likely to get in the way of speedy decision making when every second counts.

Cos I've got enough height.
But you've got altitude set.
