Default Re: KJo, bet the turn with outs?

I'm a little afraid of a check-raise from a made flush, but with the nut draw in a four way field and five other outs to beat A's I find a bet on the turn for all of the following reasons:

1. Value - the pair plus the draw seems to put you in a pretty good spot in a 4 way field; getting check-raised and having to play heads-up sucks but I think I see value here
2. Hand protection (it's a small consideration but I'd like to see Q's and gutshots fold)
3. Very outside chance of promotion (weak A's from very tight weak types might drop here)
4. The fact I'm in position and have the option of taking a free showdown but will probably be calling a river bet anyway.
