You didn't mention distance to waypoint and your altitude delta, which would affect best climb speed selection if it's a tight transition. Generally, the problem with using Vx beyond obstacle clearance is reduced forward visibility.

Have you had a look at the Getting to Grips with Performance booklet? (GTG with Cost Index might also be helpful)
