What are your thoughts specifically to these two models?

Second, there is quite a upfront savings if purchasing the international/import model. Some retailers appear to offer their own 1 year warranty. What are your thoughts on the upfront savings vs the fact that manufacturer warranty in the US is zero, and there will be some out of pocket expense for servicing at a private service facility.

Again thanks in advance.
