starhawke,
Have you heard about INTERACTIVE BROKERS LLC?
interactivebrokers.com
They charge 1.95 per contract with 1.95 minimum.
I have eDreyfus too, but am going to give INTERACTIVE a try.

You have to watch IB closely. They execute trades automatically when their software screws up the amount of margin requirement. Also, This is especially true when after markets bid/ask get wild.
Then, their system goes down often.
A friend of mine lost 10k on the EMLX hoax because of IB erratic margin. At Brown & Co this would not of happened.
