I'm still debating whether or not I want to keep it, but the travel/medical insurance and rental car coverage is superior to the U.S. card, plus we get the additional cards free and two Priority Passes (not 'Select'), etc.
I can answer that in part for you (though not specifically for the IDC). I have had Amex accounts in three countries, and Amex has told me each time that I simply needed a correspondence address (not necessarily a residential address) in the relevant country. Thus, when I asked Amex to issue me a German card while still living in the UK, they required a local address. Now that I live in Germany, I keep my UK account open with a UK address. Since I have turned off all paper mailings, and pay online, it is really quite easy to manage.
