You can borrow without penalty to purchase a house. If you withdraw for any reason besides a proven hardship, you will be taxed and penalized.
You can lock in your money and make equivalent to savings interest but the admin fees will eat that up so you benefit in the sense that you save pre tax but inflation will chip at that some.
403b to the max you can take is a no brainer. Pre tax savings.
