I have done the math several times for a Roth conversion, and I have decided that it is not a good idea.

The only good argument I have heard in favor of a Roth conversion was from a guy who wanted to leave money to his children free of taxes and the hassle associated with withdrawing money from a traditional IRA and paying taxes on it. That made sense to me.
