Would you switch a mortage from € credit to a CHF credit

Hi, i am 28, live in switzerland have good money on the side, lower 6 figures with my wife on the bank, no kids yet

Together we have a salary of 200K CHF (living in swiss and earn swiss francs)

With 21(as a student) i bought a little new builded apartment (2 rooms) lower then 50m2 in austria

The value is maybe for the aprtment now 300K for sure

I have an open mortage of 200K now, the loan is going till 2050 something like this

the apartment is rented now i get 1K, 200€ are costs, 800€ is going into my pocket

i have to pay the bank today 900€, so "i have to give from my own money 100€"

The € credit, has a interest rate of 3.184% something like that

I know i could switch to a CHF mortage and get lower interest rates - would you do it?

My biggest issue is, i am afraid to swap it to a CHF loan - why? --> because, if my wife and I deicde to buy a bigger apartment and don`t rent anymore, then i think a CHF loan in a swiss bank will be "harder" punished for our "kreditwürdigkeit", then to have it in €, at a austrian bank and is self paying off

i had already talks in a bank, so thats why i have this feeling

Also, now the aprtment is a topic which only triggers me and also is only in my responisbility - if i swap to a CHF, maybe my wife would also trouble more about the loan

Would you suggest, to swap it, because it is a no brainer to earn CHF, get a CHF loan with lower interest rate

or would you also avoid all the headache and if it is good how it is, why change the running system?
