Airbus MCDU PERF GO AROUND

Good Morning,

what altitude are you setting your go around acceleration at?
in the middle east operators the policy is to set it at the missed approach altitude, but at my new OP they don't seem to have a policy, and Airbus just says:
set or change, as the default is 1500'.

the advantage is see from having a higher altitude set is a delay in speed increase which is beneficial here where there is always a mountain in front of you on the go around and a corresponding published turn, and as per doc 8168,
the max speed in the intermediate missed approach segment is 160k, in which case I want to delay acceleration until that turn is finished and a procedural constraint is met on that missed approach.
