FWIW at our airline (jet) we are allowed V2plus 10 to 20. While many good reasons have been given, I didn't see anyone mention the advantage in maneuvering/bank angle with additional speed. simply put , a few extra knots means you are a bit safer if you have to maneuver.

AA after the ORD DC10 crash changed to if you are V2 plus 15 or above hold V2 plus 15. It cost a lot of lives to make the change. I always felt if you are flying and everything is fine and you lose an engine keep it simple unless a rock is in front of you.

bubbers makes a fine point...and that DC10 crash taught the world much about flying. and bubbers puts it in the most flyable way possible...

When you're low to the ground in these VEF/V1/V2 conditions being discussed here - you better have some airspeed!!
