And, as we've beat to death in other conversations-- with the actual TIPS you know exactly how much you will get at maturity. With the TIPS fund there's no certainty of the price you'll get when you sell your shares. So, that could be another "cost".

Yes, I am aware of that, but I was thinking that long term 10-15 years, this may 'even' things out a bit? So, I am trying to figure out what the 'average cost' would be in holding the fund. Over a long term (10 years or so), if it's just the expense ratio, I may lean towards the fund.
In fact, I may even consider a 100% TIPS portfoilo after I was 65 years old. - Just the thought of a 100% anything gives me the willies. But if TIPS leaves a 'good track record for 10 years or so, I might be persueded.
