When you check it's all too easy for him to bet, and I think you can't really call unless you know he's the sort to bluff a scare card in this manner, in which case it's perhaps worth it.
Interestingly, I think it's an easier call if the board pairs - as most people will be disinclined to chase witb bottom set, two pair etc... I think it's more usual that someone chasing here has a flush draw than a set (though not by much), and also, if he missed a set and bluffs the flush, there's nothing to say that he doesn't have two small raggy spades as well, whereas if he missed a flush draw and the board pairs on the river it won't ever help. Bit of a digression there, but I call when a pair hits more often than a spade in this case, is what I'm saying...
