Paying your marginal tax rate in taxes on $2,000 a year up front is likely to cost you a lot less overall than paying your marginal tax rate on a considerably greater amount after a number of years outside a Roth.

Is this money you are planning to access soon or much later or not at all (saving it for your heirs)?
