It Depends (tm).
If theres an urgent need to get moving, sure delay. My preference, given time, would be to read back, make sure we're both clear/quick breath and Go Round Flaps 15. There's rarely such a rush so there's no point in unnecessarily compressing oneself, IMO. Many ways to skin the many, various cats.
