I'm trying to get my head around how we're getting more value out of letting villain draw than simply betting a little something more on the turn.

The value is that this guy is smart enough to not draw to a flush on a paired board. I knew that. I put him ont he A or K of spades and I thought there was a 50% chance he'd fold either if I bet.
My river bet would have been pot for any spade or a 5 and maybe $50-$75 for another card like a 6 or an A.

if he's smart enough not to draw to a flush on a paired board, then he should also be smart enough not to call a pot sized bet on the river when a fourth spade hits, especially if he views you as a good player (which it sounds like he does).
if you bet pot and he has the K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], then he knows you have him beaten. If you bet pot and he has the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], what hand is he going to give you? K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Qo?
I've always thought "GIN" when I fill up with the third flush card on the turn.
The second part of my question, though is what hand are you betting here? You're obviously betting any hand that you floated with on the flop, but what legitimate hands are you betting here?
