Convert to Roth... or Not?

Roth does allow a larger deferral

but a simple reduction in tax rate from a 25% marginal to a 20% gross from accumulation to decumulation would be enough to wipe out that advantage. It really seems the determinant is whether you are planning on a constant level income or wealthier retirement (which bracket you will be in). Most of us probably plan for the latter and would benefit from a conversion, but others may not.
