Why did Goldfinger stop the laser?

I've never quite understood why Bond was worth more to him alive.

Is it because if Bond failed to report Mi6 would have known that he was likely killed by Goldfinger and therefore further spark their curiosity in him?

No need to start up a thread just for this:

Bond may have told MI6 of Operation Grandslam, so Goldfinger didn't want to take that chance, kill him, to only have another operative sent after him. Question answered.
