Should I roll my 401K from my soon-to-be previous employer into a traditional IRA?

401k
Eric60613 asked:

I am leaving my current employer in the next few days. Should I roll my 401K and pension fund from my soon-to-be previous employer into a traditional IRA?

My new employer offers 401K that matches up to the first 5% and allows me to roll my previous 401K into theirs. Should I do that, instead? According to the benefits literature from my new employer, my 401K with my new employer will be fully vested after my 4th anniversary there. Will I lose any value in my existing 401K by rolling mine into theirs if I leave my new employer before my 4th anniversary?
