To me, the third week is the conditioning phase....earlier in my brewing life, I had beers with great flavor...but not beers that all the flavors combined to make an amazing beer....so to me, the third week is like spaghetti sauce...yes you can make it in 30 minutes but after a couple of hours and/or overnight, it just becomes amazing!
So try it at 2 weeks, then 3....you will never go back to two!
