So I was reading about the pros and cons of contributing to a Roth 403(b) vs. a traditional 403(b). Based on Dr. Dahle's and others advice I have been contributing the maximum amount per year to my employer sponsored traditional 403(b) plan. In the process of reading more about these retirement vehicles, I came across a number of articles stating that if you are contributing the maximum amount each year, you may be better off choosing the Roth as opposed to the traditional plan. Here is one such article:

The problem is, I still don't really get it. I don't understand why you might be better off contributing to a Roth if you are contributing to the maximum amount each year. Can someone please break it down for me and my feeble mind?
Should I rethink my strategy of contributing solely to my traditional 403(b) plan? Should I start diversifying and being contributing to both accounts? Thanks for your thoughts!
