In addition to the reason he stated (preventing her from being a martyr), Amon spared Korra because he's playing cat-and-mouse with her--it's more entertaining for him to have her keep her bending than it is for him to just defeat her while it's still too easy. He wants a worthy opponent, like so many other self-assured villains.
