Blue Exorcist Blu Ray Release, Manga UK Or Aniplex

So I've had my eye on Blue Exorcist and now that it's out with a dub and on Blu Ray I want to check it out, however I'm not sure if I should go for Manga UKs Definitive Edition or the Aniplex US release. The one main difference is the price (why Aniplex price their releases the way they do I don't know) I've noticed but is there any other differences between them?
 
The UK version has all of the main episodes including the following:
■ Special Bonus Episode "Kuro Runs Away From Home"
■ Ura-Eku (short comedy video) - Part 1 and Part 2
■ Web version Previews - Part 1 and Part 2
■ Commercials and Trailers
■ Textless Opening and Ending - Part 1 and Part 2

The US version exclusively gets these:
Box Set I:
■ Blue Exorcist Original Soundtrack CD1
■ Bonus DVD: English Cast Interview Part 1: Okumura Brothers & Cram School Gang
■ 36-page Deluxe Illustration Booklet I
■ Rigid Box illustrated by Manga Author, Kazue Kato
■ Clear BD Cases with 2-sided Japanese Cover Design
Box Set II:
■ Blue Exorcist Original Soundtrack CD2
■ Bonus DVD: English Cast Interview Part 2: Exorcists & Demons
■ 36-page Deluxe Illustration Booklet II
■ Rigid Box illustrated by Manga Author, Kazue Kato
■ Clear BD Cases with 2-sided Japanese Cover Design

Basically on-disc wise you'll have all of it no matter which version you chose but for the usual AoA stuff you won't get those.

In addition Blu Exorcist from Manga is of a similar technical standard to the Aniplex discs, splitting the series across 6 dual layer Blu-rays. It isn't a Madoka Magica or Sword Art Online jobbie, compressing more episodes onto one disc, or using single instead of dual layer.
