There are pros and cons to IB. On a simplistic level, the larger the volume of shares you are trading the higher the commissions. As Gottfried pointed out, if you are trading small lots from 100 to 1000 shares, you will be very happy with IB, IMO. If you are trading 5000 share lots, it's not as cheap as some of the ones you already have a portfolio with. Execution is excellent and you have many, many options to choose from. These may be overkill for some but having many options is usually better than being limited in your choices.
