Mate here is my take- every one here will have a different opinion. It's really up to you to decide whether you are for it! I have been contemplating to give a retake (though my score is not as great as that of yours ) but not able to divert all possible energy .... must say retakes are not easy..but if you feel that you can make it work for it then just go for it!

My feeling is that since you are already not planning on applying this round, you have the luxury of time on your side. You can spend a few months researching programs while strengthening whatever is weak in your profile (doing community service, gunning for a promotion, etc), then spend a couple months doing the apps themselves, visiting schools etc. If you can look forward and decide that you have a spare month somewhere in there that you could spend focusing on GMAT (or a spare 8 weekends or whatever), then go for it.

I have to say I really wish I'd had the foresight to look over applications and learn about admissions a year or two ago, so I could have known what to expect. Whether or not you end up retaking the GMAT, you are in a very enviable spot.

Also, retaking the test one time after your initial try is by no means a red flag "too many times" thing. I'd guess you probably have 3 or 4 shots at the test before adcoms start to wonder if you're neurotic.
