One problem you might have though is those two spartan indexes are particularly tax efficient, and you might be better off with less tax efficient asset classes in your tax-deferred accounts (if it were an option). Maybe consider the bond fund if it is similarly cheap expense ratio (the one in my fidelity acct is 0.4 or 0.5% ER, so not a particularly cheap fund).
