What do you guys think?
Do you mean roll a 401K to a Roth?

You have to look at your tax bracket now compared to what it will be when you retire. For me, with kids and a big mortgage, my tax bracket is low and with any luck when I retire it will be high. So for me, it would probably be right to move it to Roth.
