Are you able to deduct your contributions? Did you look at the link I posted earlier? If no, the choice becomes very easy. Even yes, there is more to consider. However, IMO, it is a great idea to have both types of monies. You already have a traditional 401k.

this is where i get a bit confused. DH and I file together and combined we do make more than 123k. so based on that there is no deduction.

Is your AGI below 193k? If yes, you can make direct contributions to Roth.

If you cannot make direct Roth contributions, you can still make indirect contributions. You contribute to a traditional, then immediately convert to Roth.
