Daft Idea?

I have a significant holding in ISF which went ex-dividend this week and pays the four figure dividend 27 March. I am thinking now to sell the full holding of ISF and buy VUKE in time for when it goes ex-dividend on 21 Mar and effectively double dip on the dividend. iSF and VUKE both track the same index (FTSE 100) so any frictional costs are small vs dividend amounts realised and my market exposure is unchanged.
Sounds too obvious so clearly I am missing something?
