"LTE versus HSPA+" mobile phone help requested

One smart-phone model I am about to purchase comes in two versions, and I would appreciate input from someone (everyone!!) who has experience in the differences between LTE and HSPA+.

This phone is available for both the LTE market (listed as "America & Korea". Perhaps that should specify "North America" and not just "America"??), and the HSPA+ market (listed as "other non-4G markets"), but in different versions of the exact same unit.

Since I travel between both regions frequently (North America, including all three countries: the USA, Canada and Mexico plus also the Korean part of the LTE equation here) as well as "other non-4G market" areas (Europe including Germany, the U.K., Asia, the Middle East and parts of Africa) I need to make the right choice.

Anyone with experience in this who would know if I purchased the HSPA+ model if it would work in the LTA areas??

I have made my phone decision already. It's these LTE / HSPA+ issues I only need help with please. (To quell any of the potential "fanboy" replies. Hehe.)

Many thanks,
R.D.
