The only benefits of the marriage visa is a smaller financial requirement and the ability to get a work permit. If neither are of interest stay on the retirement visa.

Marriage visa isn't always a smoother choice, a lot more paperwork, location photos, blah blah blah less funding requirement, and ability to get a work permit.
