The reason that the directions, which, I believe, are from the website Freddy directed me to, say to start the initial pull slowly is so that you don't round the back and get out of position to complete the lift.
I would definitely rack the bar on your chest.

A completely executed clean or powerclean will develop a ton of reversal strength, and you rob yourself of this to some degree if you cut the lift short. No amount of deadlifting will develop your ability to change direction like a complete clean.
