It brings value in the long run and makes retention easier. If I work for a company who pays differently based on location, I'll soon be searching for a company that pays the same based on level of seniority or other internal criteria.

I dont really buy that argument. Local developers are not going to quit because you are paying remote developers less. Location is substantial factor in salary, and almost everyone seems to understand that. Onsite developers are paid generally substantially more.
