Admiral shares are do-able in this case. Regarding bonds, I guess I can hold the proper amount desired in Roth relative to the whole portfolio.



That's what a lot of people do. Shift stock ETFs to taxable and let bonds make up their ROTH. Fill in the gaps to reach whatever percentage allocations you like.

My taxable account (such as it is) has really "safe" investments. I don't want a ton of risk since I may need to withdraw at any moment. 401k/IRA is different since any short term losses are irrelevant; that money's not being touched for decades.

Would someone that's holding long term w/ no plans to trade other than annual re-balancing benefit from ETF's?

100% of my wife and my Roth IRAs are in stock mutual funds. No bonds in the Roth. Historically, stocks increase their value more than bonds. I want the biggest increases to be tax free.
