Yes, I feel you should wait. You can do 5 more days, right?
Then, can you wait 21 more days after that? Beer takes about three weeks to carb up and bottle condition. Plus, to get the best beer you can make, another 14 days at 40F or so will cold condition the beer and make it taste it's best.
So, five days to bottle, then another 35 to carb and condition... can you hold out 40 more days? Anything less than that is a bit of a compromise, so you make the call. After all, you're the brewer!
