Have you looked at SPHD? Yields around 4%... my wife has it, but too redundant in top holdings for my PFs.

I purchased SCHD a couple of weeks ago, primarily because of it's low expenses and quality holdings.

Good Morning Kip. It's fair question. It's definitely a psychological issue on my part. I'm scared off by the high valuation and low yield. I like SCHD for the portfolio it is in and have been holding for a while now, it seems to act like a buffer on volatile trading days and recovers faster from down days than the individual positions I hold in that account. It's my nod to having a diverse conservative position to offset my more risky higher yield positions.
