Bench Press for long limbed lifters - Breathing into your chest rather than belly (Elitefts)

I posted on here a couple of months ago that I struggle with my bench due to having very long arms, and I was wondering about the merits of breathing into the chest to shorten the range of motion, compared to breathing into the belly like you would in a Squat or Deadlift. I was essentially told back then that it was a bad idea.

Elitefts have recently made a video on YouTube specifically addressing bench press for long limbed lifters, saying that breathing into the chest is a good idea.

With this in mind, what are your opinions of this now that a well known powerlifting brand has advocated it?
