FMIJX vs. FZILX - which international fund to choose?

Reposting because the typo in my original title was driving me crazy.

I'm looking to diversify my Roths by putting more into an international mutual fund. Currently I have 10% in FZILX; I'm going to increase my international exposure to 20%, but I'm not sure if I should put it all into FZILX or into a more actively managed fund like FMIJX.

Some info about me:

- 25 years to retirement

- High risk tolerance

- I don't see myself moving from Fidelity.

FMIJX does have a pretty high ER at 0.94, but over the life of the fund it's brought in over 2.5% more than FZILX (it's much older than FZILX though), and 4% more in just the last 3 years.

When I write it all out, I think the answer is clear, so I'm not sure why I'm apprehensive about it; I think it's the high ER.

Interested in hearing your thoughts.
