As we see these plays are close, but there are several reasons why blotting now is slightly better.

1) It is quite hard to clear if you don't blot and you kill a checker with the safe play.

2) White isn't quite ready for you yet if he hits.

3) If White hits with a 4 he is subject to some counterattack shots from the bar.
