There is a difference in philosophy between thrust reduction height & acceleration height. B738 thrust reduction is automatic at 1500'. No where have I found an operator's differing SOP. I was told decades ago that RTOW tables calculated obstacles up to 1500', hence the thrust reduction was designed for that. All engine acceleration depends on NADP. Engine out acceleration height depends on obstacles and thrust remains constant (or increased) up to clean configuration.
