Yes, MP is above RPM on takeoff, but the argument of the "low MP" crowd would be "That's why we do a power reduction as soon as we reach 500 AGL". My CFI has told me repeatedly that I was going to burn up the engine if I didn't reduce power at 500 AGL even though the seneca POH states multiple times "THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR MAXIMUM POWER".

In fixed pitch-prop airplanes I've always used full throttle for the duration of the climb.
