Well keep in mind that this is not the same Ezio from AC2. Now he isn't motivated by revenge as much as trying to reclaim the P.O.E. If he kills Cesare without reclaiming the P.O.E, would good would that be? The P.O.E would just fall into the hands of another templar or someone like Savanarola. Ezio is wise enough to know what's at stake. Instead of killing 2 birds with one stone, he'll be basically killing 3 birds with one stone if he waits till they have the Apple with them
