I would

I put mine in without a real bench bleed and ive been struggling for awhile now trying to get the last little bit of air out of the system. I am going to have to take mine out and give it a shot once it warms up, but youll be very happy you bench bled.

I installed mine without bench bleeding it at all. No issues what so ever.. Just pumped the **** out of it, and used the bleeder screw. It came out great.

You can get away without it, but it's not worth it. It will save you a ton of time in the long run
