> Retirement: Maxing a 401k and Roth Ira is $23,000/yr

A SEP will allow you to put way more away than that. Better would be a "back door Roth" and transition from SEP to Roth and pay the income tax out of pocket each year.

You can get a better deal if you go with a Health Savings Account (HSA) + HDHP. HSA funds, if you don't use them, turn into retirement funds.
