Just to be able do fly in the UK's changeable weather and the busy airspace of the UK with confidence, has to worth the extra cost.

I unfortunately didn't feel the extra 3 grand was worth it. I don't know what weather in the UK you had was on the margins but in the US we regulary had 20-25 kt crosswinds, storms etc and Daytonas airspace is pretty busy, even some of the local airfields where they run left and right circuits simultaneously in busy times, I've been in Coventrys circuit where they wouldn't allow more than 2 at a time in, everyone else had to orbit some distance out.
