It depends. If it were lenticular like the German version and of the same quality as Life of Pi (in the UK), then I think I would as it would probably be a whole lot cheaper. As it stands though, I don't mind importing those German releases as they are really nice.
The French one is just as nice too with a lenticular magnet also. Doubt it will get one in the UK any time soon. I went with the French release, it's one of my favourite steelbooks now.
