I would go for local set. Got my Nikon D80 years back. I have no problem with it until I sold it. However my D700 cannot read the CF card after about 10 months use. Nikon Malaysia replace it for free.

Just bought an X T1 2 weeks ago. Also local set as it gives me peace of mind. However some of my lenses and accessories are not local sets. I once drop my 18-200 while in Manchester. Itr costs me RM800 to get it repaired. Now my 17-35 cannot focus. yet to sent it to Nikon for repair
