I kind of view it as the bank taking money from me that I could use elsewhere so another argument for paying off the mortgage sooner 'might be' that you end up paying less interest to the bank in total so if you're not clued up on investing, you're still in a better position than if you just held the extra cash in the bank. Pension means you can't touch it too, so if you wanna do something radical one day, you might be too late if you've locked it all in a pension.
