The true difference now (to me) is quality of research functions. Brokerages like Schwab and TD are very good. I hope that continues because it matters to me. Most of my money is with Vanguard because I trust them and commissions were $2. They aren't concerned with individual stock research and the commission advantage is gone. I kept a smaller TDA account open only for the research, even though I dislike some of their tactics. This may be fluid going forward so I am going to keep things where they are for now.
