Agree its a good comparison as far as fees go.

I think another problem with etf's is that you must take all 50 (and often more stocks) even though many might not be ones one would want to hold. If one believes in Dollar Cost Averaging, investing when stocks are reasonable and only in quality DG stocks, than stick to individual stocks.
