I would stay the course that you are on and stick with mutual funds unless you have a lot of time to do the research needed to assemble an individual stock portfolio, and then it may still underperform the applicable index. Remember, the vast majority of index funds outperform their actively managed peers, so I would question whether you could do better than the pros.
If the question is between mutual funds and ETF's, it effectivley becomes a question of cost, but with a $100-$500k portfolio, I would favor mutual funds. I have nothing but mutual funds much more than $100k - mutual funds are easy, costs are low, they are tax efficient and I have better things I want to do in my life.
