LYT, if you’re not going to say the bracha you may as well not say it at all. The whole point of saying it is in order to be able to say the bracha. The price you pay for that is that you are yotzei the mitzvah in a way that is not as Chazal instituted it, and by the time you repeat it properly you have already been yotzei. If you say it without a bracha then you have the worst of both worlds — nimtza kereach mikan umikan!
