tx Louis. that makes sense now. "No strike price here as in options, no risk to be "called" or "put" before expiration, no OTM worthless expiration." I trade (cash) index options (w/ euro-style expiration like SPX), and to my limited knowledge of futures, only 2 primary reasons I would move to SP futures: added liquidity and reduced margin reqts. but that's because the advantages you cite do not apply to options like SPX due to cash-settlement and euro expir. but I can see the advantages for equities. tx for the education. I need to go read a book on futures sometime.
