If I can get a decent chunk of money with that costs me negligible equity, why not pull the trigger? Playing a bit of devil's advocate here, because we're in a situation now where we might be raising some money, not because we absolutely require it, but because we want guidance/expertise/networks and help with distribution. As such, its the non-monetary value add that makes raising money attractive for us.
