Hartsfield was VFR though. Things might be different if you needed to carry alternate gas.

Despite the agility and excellent performance of the 700, I certainly wouldn't want to abort just prior to V1 at that airport. I don't care what the ODM says, to the naked eye its one of those that looks like there's no way you could stop.
