Buying lower MER ETFs with zero "methodology" will get a beat your PowerShares any day, assuming the same risk.

This information is available on their websites, usually on the two page PDF profile they have. They are more expensive than Vanguard for instance, and some iShares, but I'd argue that they offer a different product, with a far superior selection methodology and, despite the expense, I'd suggest that they offer good products. You should read some of their literature relating to back-testing they've done. I have an article on my site on a couple of their products. Also I have both products in my RRSP without any problems.
