Given the price differences you listed and the stuff included with the US 60Gb one, I'd say go for it.
Yes, there have been more YLoD with the US 60Gb model but the chance of it breaking down is still quite low and the possibility of having it not break down (and thus having full US PS2 B/C), MGS and The FFXIII demo bundle pretty much balance the chance of it breaking down within a year and you having to send it for repair without warranty.
