Agree. It comes down to if you think equity is underpriced. If you think its underpriced, take the equity. If it later becomes worthless, you jump ship, unless they offer more cash to compensate. So, yes you have some extra value tied up in your option to just leave before vesting. If its overpriced from the beginning, ask for cash in the beginning.
