Parents want Bris to be delayed so they can travel to the Bris, must one listen to his parents?

Some Poskim[1] rule that one is not required to adhere to his parents request in such a case, as it is a Mitzvah to perform the circumcision as soon as possible. However, other Poskim[2] rule that it is to be delayed in such a case to fulfill the Mitzvah of honoring one’s parents.
