IP, I fully understand that I need only one. However, I think if I had both licenses it would leave me greater options, as I do not know yet, where I will be training in a few years. I've been told by some German flight schools that it'd be my best bet if I earned the JAA PPL before I'd be training any further. Plus, I think it's easier to charter, ie a C172 in Europe with a JAA license and, of course, in the US with a FAA license. As far as I know EFT will not charge me an additional fee to get both licenses at the same time, so I think my plan is OK for now, don't you think? It won't hurt me if I had two ICAO licenses for some time I guess.
Thanks for your hint on FAA - JAA conversion. I'm going to give it a go soon.
