I am faced with exactly the same question. If diversification is my first priority, then I add the Ishares MSCI World Small Cap to my 70/30 portfolio in the next step and thus have no duplication. If I want more Europe, then it is for me the Lyxor Core Stoxx Europe 600 (200 large caps, 200 mid caps, 200 small caps) with 0.07 TER. Probably best both with a 60-20-10-10 weighting. And exactly at this point I do not do it after all 😂.

@Ember That's the difficulty of committing to a strategy that should work as long as possible 😂 I also think about the Europe 600 from time to time....

@17JahrBlondesHaar I have solved it this way but of course there is more effort for rebalancing but it fits :D : 50 percent World (ca. 40 percent MSCI World / 10 percent Msci World small cap) 30 percent EM 15 percent Europe (10 Stoxx Europe, 5 Europe Small) 5 percent Sector bets/dividends ETFS

@Dreamliner Sounds good but still too many ETFs for me for now. Comes perhaps still with the future
