Thanks for that. I might end up doing both.

Re-parenting is simplest and makes the most sense. But in one case, I've
already got shares of the same company at the old and new brokerages. I
used the two-split method there. Both worked fine.

Thanks again!

Probably because it doesn't.

You can transfer the shares in a regular two-split transaction but depending on 
the circumstances it might make more sense to just re-parent the account to the 
new broker.
