Maybe the "can visit" part of your question contains assumptions that need further exploration?
Existence within physical reality seems to create the assumption that we only exist in one place (level) at a time. So we appear to be either in physical reality or F27 in the case of your question. What if it just ain't so? What if we simultaneously exist within many levels/realities? What if "can visit" actual means "can focus my attention within the myself that is always consciously aware within F27"? Visiting then just becomes a matter of which of yourselves you chose to be consciously aware within at any moment of time. And, what if we are not limited to only being aware within one reality or focus level at a time?
Then the answer to your question, "why return to earth at all? Why not just stay there in 27?" could be, we never left earth in the first place, and we are already staying there in 27.

What if, before you were born into this lifetime you were enjoying existence in F27, and then for reasons of your own chose to be born into this lifetime? If that is true do you think you are making the best use of your time during this lifetime? Are you doing the things you left conscious awareness of F27 for?
Maybe the job at the pencil factory is just a "cover" for the real reasons you chose to be born into physical reality.

Perhaps being superman, rich, good looking and smarter than Einstein would get in the way of doing what you set out to do during this lifetime?
Just What-Ifing
