If you do get the Euro model you'll need a USA compatible power supply. 
Back in the day I replace the Commode Door brick with a salvaged PSU from
an original IBM-PC. Anyone with basic soldering skills can do the same.

All you need is the square plug from an Amiga or C-128 (and the bricks are
NOT the same even though the plugs are compatible) and a working power
supply from an old desktop confuser. There was and probably still is a
pin out of both on the web - probably even a complete how-to article
and/or video ..... and the PC power supply has the advantage of being fan 
cooled so it should live forever in a low current application like an 
A-500.
