>>>Would not greater acceleration mean you increase V1? - get to a set speed earlier on the runway, allowing more distance for further acceleration before running out of braking distance.

Oktas8,
isn't it the other way round? greater acceleration is most important from V1 to Vr after engine failure at V1, so You can decrease V1, being GO-minded.Higher V1 means You abort T/O at a higher speed, having very little Rwy distance available to continue T/O
