What would be the benefits in choosing VTSMX or VHDYX?

VTSMX is double the price but been around about 14 more years.

price/share really means nothing

VTSMX has and should continue to return more in good markets and lose less in bad markets. Higher risk, higher returns.

VHDYX buys slower growing, large dividend paying companies.

VTSMX buys the entire stock market, so you get small, midsize, and large companies. Slow growing large ones, fast growing small ones, and everything in between.

I would choose VTSMX if your horizon is over 10 years.
