Corrrect ,if your comparing a traditional to a roth you can squeeze more into the roth because your pre-paying the tax outside it.
but comparing a 401k where you can even up the amounts they work out the same at the end.
by the same token you could pay the tax with money on the traditional from outside the ira and get similiar results.
typically everyone compares by paying the taxes on the roth up front with money outside of it but they always subtract the taxes off the bottom line of the traditional rather then figure those too from outside it.
