Leaps may not be as liquid, depending on the stock. Other than that, I'm not sure there is a downside.

>> Fidelity allows LEAPS in both IRA and Roth accounts, but doesn't allow regular options, right?

Fidelity absolutely does allow regular (short term) options in retirement accounts. LEAPS are clumsy instruments for trading, primarily due to the spread between bid and ask.
