Anyone else using Birch Gold for a smaller palladium IRA?

Okay, so I've been looking into rolling over a small portion of an old 401k into a Precious Metals IRA. I've got about $75k sitting there that I want to diversify, and after digging around, palladium has really caught my eye. Especially with everything going on economically, I feel like it's got a lot of potential, maybe more than just plain old gold right now, though I'm still keeping an eye on that too.
I've been chatting with Birch Gold and they seem pretty good. I like that they specifically mention their minimum investment is $10k, which is great for someone like me who isn't trying to dump a half-million dollars into this all at once. They've been super responsive, and the rep I spoke with walked me through the whole process for setting up a palladium IRA. I teach financial literacy here in Little Rock, so I'm usually the one explaining things, but it was nice to have someone break down the nuances of palladium coins and bars for IRA eligibility for once.
My main concern is just making sure I'm not missing anything. For those of you with smaller accounts (say, under $100k) who have used Birch Gold, especially for palladium, what was your experience like? Were there any hidden fees or surprises? I'm trying to be as diligent as possible, and while I understand the risks of investing in precious metals, I want to make sure I'm doing it with a company that's transparent and reliable.
Any insights, positive or negative, would be super helpful. I'm excited about getting this set up, but I also want to make sure I'm making the smartest move possible with this initial investment before I consider adding more down the line. Thanks in advance for any advice!
