If not, then I would go with the CFM which says autopilot on no lower than 600’ on departure.

No, it was a fellow pilot telling me to engage NAV mode around 200’. The CFM tells us to select speed mode at V2 + 10, and HDG/NAV mode at 400’. Then he requested A/P on about 3-400’ vs. 600’. Said it was in a memo, but I did not remember such.
