There is no advantage to a cash account over margin for options. It is only more restrictive. UP or down 15% on most equity options with a low vol will show close to a full loss. Leaps and options with a high vol wills till have a value. That is why it is difference with PM which is risk based.

In a PMA you don't have to put up the entire purchase price. It just tends to come close to that for most options except Leaps and stocks with a high IVol. You are on the right track. If that is 100% of your trading, you get little benefit from PM.
