I think the wise choice would be to keep an extractor. You never know when it may be just what you need. You may be called to extract vomit, urine, etc. You may need to give a hammered carpet a good flushing. And providing a periodic HWE rinse is an effective maintenance strategy that can help you manage the carpet's soil load effectively. While it's true that encap can cover a ton of ground, there are times that HWE is still very valuable to have at your disposal. It can be compared to having plenty of tools in a well stocked toolbox. Having a wide range of tools and being proficient at using them marks a true professional.
