That bit would scare the willies out of me and I'd need to see the
numbers run to know if the interest benefit from paying a 20% down
makes up for the loss of interest in the 401k.

Is the loan you're planning on paying back just the initial 20% amount
or the amount after 10 years accrual had you left it there?

Are you required to pay the full 20%? I know when we got our loan we
only paid a little more than 10% and with an accelerated payment
schedule got rid of the PMI in less than a year.
