And don´t forget one issue:
When you trade futures, your order is routed thru brokers to CME (Globex) Exchange and all participants orders converge in this market.
Prices are fixed by offer and demand.

In FX you have a bilateral relationship with broker or fx-house and they have the rights to fix the bid-offer prices according with their needs. Teoretically, each broker (FX House) have different prices at the same moment.

Options are not very liquid in futures, but a small trader could take any advantage using this kind of derivatives.
