Horses for courses don't you think Mr Collins? You have constructed a scenario in which in almost any light twin, there would be every reason to land ahead and sort the problem out on the ground.
This conclusion is underlined all the more strongly when you consider the limitations of the Aztec and its sad old hydraulics, together with the environmental conditions you cite.
By contrast, on a low vis day, where ground contact will be lost as soon as the aircraft lifts off, you would presumably acknowledge the value in cleaning up and climbing away ASAP.
The maths being what it is, even on a pleasant day of the sort you describe, you will rapidly reach a point in the climbout where landing ahead will cease to be an option, even on a long runway, as you approach that point, the gear will not benefit you by dangling down. We are talking about a few seconds delay in raising the gear even on a relatively long runway.
The real danger that this subsection of this often-heated thread reveals is that it is a big mistake to have a fixed view of your plan for engine failure. The plan will need to change, not only to take into account the aircraft concerned, but also the runway, the weather and your load. The GA pilot almost needs to think like a transport pilot before lining up, rehearsing his Engine failure plan for *this particular* departure to his imaginary first officer as part of the checklist.
