Do you worry about sourcing replacement parts since you're not in the companies "actual" market?

That's the main thing holding me back. A repairable phone doesn't bring much if you can't get parts

    I have a spare device at home (an old nexus 5). If I ever render the FP 6 unusable, I can fall back to that while I wait for parts to be shipped from Europe.

    Ultimately the shipping cost and wait time is the only real hurdle to being outside Europe.
