And the big difference between Shakespeare and Marlowe's backgrounds is that Marlowe went to university - he attended Corpus Christi College at Cambridge. (Or it might have been Christ's; I get the two confused.) That's enough for the anti-Stratfordians with regards to background.
Well, it's not like Shakepeare was illiterate; something about the Stratfordian argument that what many consider the greatest English writing in history isn't good enough to have been written by anyone else seems lacking.
I don't really have a dog in this fight, but dislike on principle saying Shakespeares authorship is beyond dispute.

I've picked up that book a few times in my bookshop but have never quite been tempted.

Well. Marlowe wasn't a good enough intelligence agent for them to have gone to all that effort.
