So if the situation were that I had a smaller flush draw and no pair the free card play is better right?

Well, you're raising both ways. One way is for value (in the hand you had here), the other is for a free card (in the hypothetical example). I think that's what you're trying to say. Even so, if you had more opponents, your raise would be for value. This probably isn't the greatest example all around since you could have taken a free card on the flop and you were check raised.
