Just an aside - there is NO quantitative historical proof that stock splits actual help or result in a stock boost. As an M&A advisor we had a deck that we showed management teams all the time, 15 pages of information, historical and quant based analysis - the summary was always the same "It won't help or hurt, companies just do it for optics sometimes".

It really should not have any impact on your decision at all. And I know optically you think a cheaper per share cost would mean getting more shares and thus more return, but in reality share count doesnt matter.
