Reply to comment by techcaleb in VTI or VTSAX which is the better choice long term? by ToenailRS

The cash drag (assuming no fractional etf shares) will more than make up the ER difference until there is a sizeable sum invested. Tbh this low of a difference doesn't matter and fund availability and behavioral factors almost certainly are more important.

Remembering some quick math I had done months ago, it was hundreds of thousands.

However, I think I have heard of Vanguard doing a rollout of fractional Vanguard only ETFs for at least some users.

Other factors can still be more significant than the 1 basis point difference.
