Maturing in a pressure barrel or FV?

[edwardss]

Hi, i have a coopers stout in my FV at the moment which is ready for bottling after 10 days, i'm away for the next 2 weeks so was wondering whether to barrel it this weekend or leave it in the FV for a little longer?

I have matured previous beers both ways before (not longer than 4 weeks in the FV) but can't remember which way came out better. I was wondering how you others generally do it?

Thanks :

I'd barrel it , but I'd leave the barrel in the bath in case it sprang a leak.
