why not gun it as you come around the corner and use the momentum to take care of any lack of line-up allowance?
That would be fine if you, or your f/o, don't make the mistake I have seen made twice in the 737. That is to push the thrust levers right up to an aproximate take-off power setting in one swift movement. I have no idea why they did it, and in both cases neither did they, but they did it, and the thrust didn't come up evenly at all!

Luckily we hadn't gunned it as we came around the corner.
