Given the maths there though (though I'll have to go back over when I'm awake hehehe...6 hour session so far, but up $250 on my return to the game), it seems calling the 2 bets and then waiting to see if it was capped behind me would be the right play since my equity investment would be lower if it were capped after I'd invested as opposed to me being the one to put the 4-bet in, correct?

You're equity investment is how many bets go in the pot, regardless of who bets and raises. Since you're clearly behind on the turn, you want to invest the least amount possible to see the river. You do that by checking and calling, not betting and raising.
For all you know, had you checked the turn, it would have got bet and raised behind you (and you would call two cold getting 7.5:1), and it might not get raised again. So you might have had to only invest two bets instead of four to see the river.
