I'm not ODog2323, but I'll take a shot at this. I plan on buying the international version because I go to S. Korea once a year for the entire summer, and I would like to be able to use it there. (The international version has 3G -- not sure why you're saying that it doesn't.) I don't care about LTE, because I know that the frequency bands are different in S. Korea vs. the US.
I can't buy one now because I would like to get the 64GB titanium gray, and who knows when that will be released.
