What the table does not decide
It does not show dealer spreads, exact account/depository choices, minimums, promotion effects, or the service experience you would receive. Those require current quotes and documents.
How to choose between them
Ask both companies to quote the same or economically comparable IRA-eligible bullion products at approximately the same time. Record first-year and recurring account costs, then ask how a same-day repurchase would be priced.
