How tax effective is super?

If your salary puts you into the next bracket by just a few thousand dollars, your sacrificed contributions could reduce your taxable income and bring it down into a lower tax bracket, further reducing your tax.

Super is generally a long term investment (ie 7 years or more). And since you can’t access your money until you retire, you might want to think about using a growth investment strategy.
