I don't really understand why do brokers have a special affecting for collecting regulatory licenses...I guess it's not really my business to begin with. Most people usually sign up for one of the global versions anyway right? Never mind doesn't really matter.
Can't say anything about the entry-level accounts but the Elite one is an absolute banger. Like, even with a $3 per side commission the spreads are almost non existent. Much easier to calculate your trading costs this way as well, which is a big plus as I see it
