I thought about that a little when I signed up but figured there isn't a lot I can do about that. If Ohio changes their plans, I'll consider moving the assets in to another state's plans for sure.

California's just went from TIAA-CREF to Fidelity. But it's not that hard to move from one to another. Ohio definitely seems like one of the better ones if you don't have state-specific benefits.

Some of the plans include 529+fund expenses together. Others separate them out. And then some splits it out into 3 layers. On savingforcollege.com, there's a good PDF that shows a summary of what fees would be on $10K over 10 years. Too bad I didn't see this summary first -- would have saved me a lot of trouble. http://newsletter.savingforcollege.com/mo-20070220/fee_table_comparison_chart.pdf And yes, I also picked the OH plan for my son. I like the low minimum ($15) and the decent choice of funds. I wish I could overweight in value but I can see why state plans would want to limit choices to avoid people trying to time the market.
