Earnie, thats good stuff. Rotation was based on the book saying the aircraft can climb out on one engine and I can remain clear of terrain. My preferance.
On the other hand I'm not sure I could judge my stopping distance after rotation. Before rotation I would want to know If I had enough runway to abort and stop. Once I lift the nose I'm flying or I should have shut it down. Your experience with this is very helpful.
