From my perspective, it seems to me that the real value of a margin account is for those instances where the buying opportunity is great enough; the available cash is not quite great enough for the purchase; and that the condition is temporary (e.g. more cash will come in).

On balance, your comments are right on the mark. I would rather have 100% of an asset that has dropped 50% in value than 0% of twice as many assets that dropped in value 50%. Simple math.
