Remember that accessories have an even higher price difference between US and EUR. Also buy the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit which will basically adds an USB port to your iPad.

The iPad is most useful in the 3G version. I would most certainly have preferred that one to the one without, especially since the WiFi reception of the iPad is horrendous.
Actually the most expensive iPad 3G costs just $100 more in the UK than in the US once US sales taxes etc. are factored in. So not that much more expensive.
