I can open more positions (and absorb more red pips before a margin call) w/ higher leverage.
It WILL make a difference to some people's trading methods/styles. (Me, for one)

DislikedExample:
10.000 USD Balance
3% Risk = 300 USD
Pips at Risk 100 Pips.
=> Lotsize 0.3 Standard Lots or 30.000 Units
Margin Requirement with 1:25 = 30.0000/25 = 1200 USD
See how that is easily possible with 10000 USD?
Now with 1:500 leverage it's 30.000/500 = 60 USD.
What is the risk? 3%!! Is there a difference between
1:500 and 1:25? NO! Why? Because the RISK is the same.
You could also risk 20% on 100 Pips of your account this
would require 8000 USD of margin.
Now please say 20% risk per trade is not enough and I'll laugh my ass off.
