And to the grandparents part... they can be a great pair of hands to keep family/work priority in check. Unless one of you/spouse is staying out of work to take care of the kids, having grandparents able to look after the kiddos is something I greatly appreciate my parents/in-laws for.
This would only be possible if they are still relatively early in their retirements and energy/health aren't yet a concern.

The other argument I'd make for having them early is better chance of healthy kids. The two friends I have that waited both had issues conceiving and on top of that they both ended up with 1 of their two kids being special needs. Now maybe it was just bad luck but I have a hard time believing age didn't factor in.
