I'd just move it to Vanguard.

In my experience, most brokerages require a medallion guarantee (most banks don't) to roll money out of an IRA. You have to go to an institution you bank with - some will do it for free. My CU charges something like $10 per guarantee. It's not a big deal.

If you think you will change your mind down the road, and want to go with a different fund family, you may be better off with E-Trade. (I personally like Vanguard and Fidelity because they let you invest in various outside funds without any transaction fees. BUT, I mostly stick to their fund families. I'd consider E-Trade if I wanted to trade a larger variety of funds or stocls).
