Yeah, agreed. It was options I always thought of as a "nice bonus", but RSUs I always thought of like cash.
The tax situation around options also makes for many more variables in the risk calculation (i.e. do I exercise as soon as I vest to reduce potential AMT, but then I may need to find sizable cash to execute), while RSUs are just much simpler
