It is not a once in a lifetime chance--they were able to take them down really easily the first time. And of course they're going to see each other again. Even if they all got a lot stronger--which I don't think possible, Tenzin and Lin seem to be at the peak of bender power, though Korra may still be debatable as to if she's all the bender she can be--they will still have extreme difficulty taking down the robots and building up some kind of defense against the electricity. The next time they meet up with the Equalists they might hold up a little better--but what's to say they'd win in a reasonable matter?

Second, which is easier to handle--a bunch of benders that create an angry flash mob, burning, freezing, and breaking everything in their path in the name of their favorite martyrs during a time when the Equalists aren't all fully equiped or a taking down an organized bender army through guerrilla attacks and hunting down the rest of them--child benders, elderly benders and everyone else who don't originally wish to be a part of the war--afterwards?

Not to mention that they still need time to build and distribute weaponry. Everything that Hiroshi had in his factory is not enough for every Equalist who plans to be in the war--even if it is a quarter of the number of the people who were seen in the Revelation, it's still a pretty big group.

And of course they want them to 'escape.' It's easier for them in the long run and leaves less work in them finding the truly formidable benders. And even if it isn't Korra and Tenzin and Lin who start the army, as soon as they inform Tarrlock what's going on, he'd have an army organized by the time the manufaturing of the Equalist robots are completed and every Equalist is ready for war. Oh, and Amon even stated he was saving Korra for last. He wants to make her the final blow, proving to the world that the era of bending is truly over and killing all hope for the few stray benders that may be left. He needs someone keeping track of her, someone who knows where she is at near all times. That's why I'm saying Asami is a sleeper agent and it's not all that far fetched of an idea.

Oh, and Hiroshi definitely ran by now. No way is he sticking around.
