better suited for the final table??????
final table, a knockout blow is a must for both advancing in finishing place and accumulating chips.
Cant see this move being good at any point in tourny but most especially not at the final table.

Only in an extreme case, and even then, I don't think it can be any better than neutral.
Say you have 60000 chips, 8 very good players have 10000-45000 each, average say 20000, and the donkey has 1000. You're not really worried about busting out ahead of the donkey and his chips aren't that valuable to anyone, but if he sticks around and doubles up two or three times it's just as likely that he doubles through the other good players as you, but it hurts them worse. Depending on payouts you can also use his presence to pressure the others, although this is a separate issue.
Edit: This isn't an argument I'll defend to the death, just a thought...
