The captain decides and acts; I'm not seeing the extra time involved.
Is the edge case you're thinking of that an engine quits and the FO controls the rudder so fast and perfect that there is no yaw, and the Captain's feet are on the floor so he doesn't know and needs to be told? I suppose in this one, there would be a difference.
Then there is cognitive dissidence. P2 calls stop, Capt says no - continue; who has physical control, who has a suitable mental appreciation of actions required during a continued takeoff.
The P2 doesn't call stop, and doesn't get invested into a course of action that is then reversed.
