True, only 4kts of difference at mtow, and now that I'm flying the 207 again, its v1 is infinity because if I lose a motor, I have to stop. What about on a bigger bird though. Let's say you've got 20kts between v1, and rotate, you hit rotate and and nothing happens, or a fire happens in the cockpit at v1 + 5kts do you continue.
