Nick, That very small upside for an extreme downside. Trying to hire someone to work on your system with Euro channelization, not to mention buying amplifiers and passives is a huge PITA. I have customers in Europe who decided to do US DOCSIS and they universally wish they had used the local "flavor".

My 2 cents, buy CMTS/CCAP gear that's upgradeable to D3.1, ie CBR8, E6000, or the big Casa unit, for the time being shoot for 24 channel downstream bonding groups (24 * ~37mbps - overhead) which yields about 740 mbps usable.
the good thing about eurodocsis is that it gives you a full 1gig usable if you're bonding over 24 channels. There's a natural residential performance plateau at 1G because 10G NICs haven't really made it to the consumer level yet, which means that if you want to hand off > 1gbit, things become more expensive and/or more complicated.
