Not significantly, the slightly higher prices (if your 98-113 EUR is
accurate, I didn't look) almost certainly all have to do with the size
of the market, it's a smaller market and the costs of doing business
in another country and another language have to be compensated for if
you're global, or if you're just a local place, you still have the
same problems.
Just buy it in the UK save 10 euros if it matters.
