I did mention to the Voyager representative that I know there is significant demand from many members of multiple online communities that favor vanguard as a custodian for their other investment assets. And I informed him that many folks are viewing HSA's as a quasi-IRA, just another method of saving on taxes when you contribute and having tax free gains.

On a side note, it is amazing how the customer service gets stepped up a notch from the regular CSRs to the Voyager CSR's (for folks w/ over $100,000 in assets w/ Vanguard). They chat with you, provide helpful advice about things tangentially related to what you are asking about and are more conversational in tone than the usual transactional-hurry-up you get at most places.
