Ditto. I see no real point in paying an extra £100 for 3G plus whatever you then need to pay per month for actual 3G usage.
It's not something you're likely to carry everywhere with you like a mobile phone. Too big.
Although you could easily take it when travelling, the chances are that any hotel etc. you went to would have WiFi anyway.
The only other thing the 3G model has which the WiFi only model does not is GPS... but why bother with that on a device the size of the iPad? It's too big for using when out & about on foot (unlike an iPhone or other GPS enabled smartphone), & I don't think it's particularly ideal for in-car use.

He just needs to hide the receipt then!
As it's now out in the UK, they can't just automatically assume "Ah! You have an iPad with you sir, you must have bought it in the US!", as he could have quite easily bought it here & then taken it to the US & back.
If it's unboxed, & has no receipt with it, it
should be safe from HMRC I'd think...
