My initial reason for capping was to extract value from BTN. I don't expect him to fold here in this gigantic pot if he was willing to call a raise already. Also, if the extra SB we put in now improves our equity in this huge pot even a little bit the raise is good (BTN folds a live hand or something).

However, I can see the merits in just calling down as well. And if we cap the better option would probably be to take a cheap showdown if it's HU on the turn.

If we are badly behind to two outs or less, a raise is pushing value toward BB's equity. Folding out the overlay on a chop is sometimes bad as well.
