I'd buy one if it would be available in Europe. Safer tools will make for safer working, period.
About complacency. Almost everyone who becomes familiar with woodworking machines gets complacent by routine and doing a job in a rush because they've done it a thousand times. I've been woodworking for about 13 years now, and i'm still as scared and nervous about using my TS as when i just started. So if i can get a TS that adds an extra safety measure, then i'm all for it.
And as Wizer said, 100£ for a finger/hand, that's a no brainer.

to bad about the accent though :lol:
On the other hand a good blade guard system that actually works and is not removed by it's user might do a better job of keeping your fingers out of the vicinity of the spinning blade in the first place.
