I believe I meant Roth 401(k) as well as two Roth IRAs. My stated reason was that maxing out a Roth shelters more than maxing out a deductible, traditional plan (whether we're talking about a 401(k) or an IRA). Further, as you suggest below, having investments in a plan with RMDs can force higher taxes later.
