Go to Open Cry..Ive been using them for over a year. Very good broker. Interactive Brokers seems to change trading policies more often than the wind changes direction! they could easily come up with another excuse to jack up margins again. Why put up with that?
Open ECry $500 margins ...even during times of high volatility, awesome DOM(depth of market system) Very good - excellent cust service.
I rest my case...

Before you rest your case completely, you might want to address some of the concerns expressed here, just the other day.

We never calculate margin requirements on futures. IB uses requirements set by exchanges and clearing houses. Other brokers do the same as it required by law. We allow 1/2 margin reduction on majority of liquid futures during certain period of time. Other brokers could require less because it is an unregulated area.
