I'm just thinking about purchasing a new Logitech G15 Keyboard, I took a look at your site and found the G15 US version for £44.59 inc VAT, where as the UK version is £70.44 inc VAT, can someone tell me the differences between the 2 and the advantages and disadvantages of them?

A few keys swap places.
If you get the US version you'll find there's no £ key which you might find bothersome.
To get that £ I had to copy it from a different post and paste it in.

Yep, US keyboard layouts suck ass. If you know the layout of the keys well enough then just set the language to UK English and then ignore the fact that # is where the £ sign should be etc. You can also look at Character Map if you want the £ sign but copying it from another post is what I usually do as well while using US layout.
For some reason the \ is above a half-height return key as well which is also rubbish. Full height return key is so much nicer.
Depend's on what you're used to 
I'm used to the US layout and don't care for the UK layout and it mostly just annoys me Enough for me to get my saitek eclipse posted to me from canada 
I find the puny shift key annoying to use. and the fact that the @ is in the wrong place. Although my old Samsung keyboard had a nicer layout. Similar to the US layout, but with a L enter key instead of the small one. You're right about that. Much nicer.
Glad to know the G15 is being sold in the US layot though. I was debating between these two keyboards so if I wanna change, I can get it easily
