Maxing over  has its own benefits:

1. The more levels you gain the more spins you gain, meaning that as long as you stick to your primary targets with the aid of the movement speed bonus from your Q you will surely get at least 5-6 spins starting from level 7.

2. Potentially outscale your thanks to the enhanced damage on isolated targets.

3. is in AOE. More waveclear power.

4. Maxing does not prolong the duration of.

It's always standard to max over, unless your enemy laner has hardcore engages/pokes (then maxing  first may be better because you can outrun your enemy laner).
