To buy or not to buy in USA for use in UK , will I have problems with voltage ,should I buy  UK cable or just use adapter?l I

I 'm off to the USA shortly and am wondering if I should buy my MacBook pro 15 over there. I will be saving about £300 but will I have to use a UK adapter to charge from power or can I buy a UK voltage cable to fit straight to the MacBook .
I 'm new to Mac but love my iPhone & iPad so would be glad of any advice please.

VAT does not apply but import duty does (and probably state/city sales taxes in the US), after import duties you'll find your savings to be closer to 100 pounds sterling, I send my son MBP's from the USA constantly but there is no significant saving anymore.

100 pounds is not a significant savings??? You and I may have different value systems.
I guess that came out a little wrong last time I sent one it was a 13" i5MBP, with shipping, taxes and import it was 78 pounds cheaper than in the UK, 3 pounds for an adaptor for the power supply made it a round 75 pounds, it took 8 days and was in perfect condition so .. you pays yer money and you makes yer choice.
