One of the problems for lump sum people who stay with Merck into 2021 and beyond is downside risk in the pension.  As interest rates start to rise the lump sums will start to drop. That is anything you earned in the pension prior to 2020.  Look at the modeler and read the fine print, it specifically mentions that a 1% increase in rates can equal a 20% drop in lump sum.
