Here is my rationale:
The US plug is fuseless. (As is Schuko by the way)
I am using Furutech GTX-D NEMA wall sockets which have the tightest grip of any wall socket I've ever used.
Using US wall sockets meant I was able to use a cable with Furutech FI-50M mains plug which I wanted at the time.
In my setup at home I have 8 dedicated spurs with a selection of different UK and US wall sockets so I get to experiment a fair deal. To my ears the US circuits consistently sound better.
I'm not trying to talk anyone else into doing this. It's best to stay safe and use UK.
