I spared him because I think he was really nice to the villagers in the beginning but felt betrayed in the end. He agrees to kill a leashen under 50 gold and considering how dangerous they are it was a pretty noble thing to do. After the battle, they don't even want to pay him money that they clearly have, lie to him, trick him and try to murder him for a few coins. At that point I don't think he made a rational choice. I believe most people would have done the same, especially after a life of a Witcher. Yes he goes on a rampage killing everyone but he stops at the child because at that point he Regains control, thinking of his sister. His life was absolute shoit, he tries to be noble and get betrayed by that same people he saved. What he did was wrong, but he has valid excuses. As for the trophies this means nothing. If a hunter is proud of a kill he will keep a memento. Their heads are just proof so after showing them to the villagers there is no reason to think he wouldn't keep some just for the hell of it.

Even  in the worst case, let's say he did kill them for not getting his 12-50 coins, he will save all the honest people that won't try to KILL HIM. He said it's not the first time someone did not want to pay him, but he makes the distinction that what he did here was because they tried to kill him. Him letting the girl live is proof that he didn't planed this since the girl is a big factor in you finding him. If he was evil he would not leave evidence.
