So, if I were you, I'd contribute up to your employer match limit

Then the rest of money you are stashing I'd put in a retail investment account. Generally 401ks don't have very great options and if you ever need that money there is penalties for taking it out

But it's up to you, BUT it would be pretty hard not to out perform the funds in your 401k
