IIRC they have slightly more power, shorter gearbox ratios (4.111 rather than UK 3.9 final drive) and they also come with 2 pot front brakes

Not to forget that your insurance will probably cost more on an import as well, it may be harder to sell in the long run with potential gaps in the service history etc. Why not bight the bullet and get a UK one!
