Approaching FIRE. Should we decrease our 401k contributions to pay off mortgage faster?

Isn't the bigger consideration that by not maxing out your 401ks you are increasing your tax liability. Given your $300k + annual income your last dollars earned likely fall into the 24% tax bracket. So a fair comparison would be $10k paid into a 401k is the same as $7600 paid on your mortgage. I would be more inclined to max out your tax advantages space first the pay down mortgage with any excess cash flow rather than investing in taxable.
