Well, maybe Coinbase has answered the question for me because, it seems like they only sell EHF. No EC.
You have to understand that I can't keep my money on the sidelines (all in BTC) with all this action going on. I need to diversify my crypto portfolio.
Ok then you have an answer which is good enough for you. There is no need to argue and ask questions further since you already trust the fork because Coinbase supports it.
