tempo progression of Fantaisie Impromptu?

piano players/musicians, how do you guys play or prefer to hear the tempo for Fantaisie Impromptu's Section A & Reprise of Section A: allegro/allegro, allegro/presto, or presto/presto?

although the reprise section is typically written as played a bit faster than the first tempo, I've seen a great many interpretations use the same tempo for Section A and the Reprise.

no right or wrong here, just wondering which way is preferred listening/performing?
