Let's say you live in Cali.
Option 1 makes 31,468 after taxes.
Option 2 makes 67,679 after taxes.

That takes 3.6 years for option 2 to "beat" option 1. Pretax contributions will give 2 an even stronger advantage.
It's easier to pay down debt than it is to raise your income. 2 is much better. If you have low interest rates, you can make larger investments with 2 and have compounding growth. The only way 1 is better is if you have zero impulse control, but that's like saying it's bad to win the lottery.
