As mentioned before, you would have busted a type ride aborting at/after V1. If the airplane is flyable, as it was in the scenario you mentioned, you go. It's poor muscle memory training if you plan to move up to bigger and better equipment to try and decide what to do after that point. That's why V1 is there.
