Wanting to get into options - which brokerage to use?

Hi there, been trading for five years now and I think I want to start playing with options. I want to start small ($1000) and create a new account to keep the money separate so that it doesn't affect my other portfolios. I want to see how far I can get with just $1000, and at the same time learn how options work. I currently use Fidelity. Which brokerage will allow me to start trading options easily, and which one has the best interface to use for beginners? Thank you for any suggestions.
