I'd stick with the original. The difference in fees isn't that great. A more important question is what the penalty fees for moving RA are one day. If there is any kind of penalty fee I wouldn't touch it.
Anyway, the answer to your question is 10X (EDIT: or Allan Gray if you go the managed route)
The benefit is that you can use a specific provider's platform (CoreShares, Sygnia etc) and have all the portfolio building blocks there (ETFs). MUCH lower fees.

Your STXQUA may have stayed green, mine was pretty red. It recovered a bit today (over 3%) so not sure when you checked.
It's still -2.5% for me. TFSA took a real hammering and easily lost 7-8% in total before today.
Who knows. Probably wants some sort of immunity or have NDZ as interim president to grant him immunity or something.
The fact that he is in a position to make demands is what is worrying. Why would the ANC even entertain this unless he has dirt on them?
There's no point having both ASHT40 and CTOP50 in the same portfolio. CTOP50 contains all of ASHT40 plus 10 extra. You'll be paying duplicate trading costs etc. for the same stuff. Of those, I'd keep CTOP50.
You can have more diversification buy adding ASHMID to the mix.
Although a bit more different I feel the same about STXWDM and ASHGEQ. Rather pick both STXWDM+STXEMG or just ASHGEQ.
I'll probably keep it at EE until we are allowed to move it. Not keen on splitting it up.
SYG4IR has done exactly nothing but go down. High risk, sure, but even with exchange rate fluctuations it just does nothing. I'm too impatient
So as things stand now and for this year*:
Offshore (50%)
STXWDM: 40%
STXEMG: 10%
Local (50%)
STXQUA: 35%
PTXTEN: 15%
We're looking at buying a house and also planning a wedding so I might stop my TFSA contributions for 2018. I'm happy with the makeup of it at the moment but I'm toying with the idea of moving it when our finance minister (whoever it may be) gives the go-ahead. The biggest reason being that after three years of maxing out my TFSA contributions it is getting to a sizable value which I do not really want on the TFSA platform.
Option 1: Move it to ABSA Stockbrokers. The only problem here is that it is a manual process. I cannot schedule a debit order and let it execute at market buys. So no "auto pilot" mode which kind of sucks.
Option 2: Move it to Allan Gray and invest via unit trusts. Will need to keep costs in check though.
