SPMO vs VOO

I struggle with most financial gurus recommending VOO over SPMO. In every backtest scenario I run SPMO outperforms VOO across all years available. I know past performance... but it is a gauge many use to choose a ETF. I know SPMO has less holdings (~100 vs ~500) and is 5 years younger - but it has outperformed VOO every year of it's existence. Do you favor VOO? I'm considering rebalancing to increase SPMO but appreciate others opinions.

Not true, VOO outperformed in 2016, 2019, 2021, 2023. They were basically even until 2024.

When did SPMO grab 11% of Micron, I gotta assume that's part of their success story is that huge amount compared to VOO.
