XDV is more heavily weighted in financials, has lower dividend return, and higher MER (0.50% v.s 0.17% for XIU).

What would deter you from choosing one over the other? Poor diversification?

If XDV also follows the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats index like CDZ, then given that several banks have been dropped from the list will mean more diversification in XDV than before; it may also mean that the yield is also more comparable to the TSX index ETFs. This is the question I'm wondering.
