Yeah, I got a 15 year loan to save about 25% on my interest payments (3% vs 4%). Looking back, that was totally stupid because had I got a 30 year loan, and invested the difference (which I absolutely would have), I would earned a substantially greater return from the resulting stock boom.

Exactly and makes total sense. Plus, not everyone has infinite income, so people are "rate limited" into choosing the 30 over a 15 or 10.
