Nothing compares . However, buyer beware. There are major issues right now with the international versions of S3 and Note II. Mostly S3 (specific models). So far I don't think these issues have surfaced in the US. Time will tell. I don't want to go into great detail or light a fire in this thread, but I'll point you to XDA site and you decide for yourself. Seems like things are dying down over there, but Samsung is aware and replacing the units under warranty. Others are flashing roms to fix a suspected software issue. Some are suggesting a defective charger.
The point is it would be wise buy the US version from a reputable dealer, register the device with Samsung to activate the warranty. Even at $249.00, this is expensive to end up with a brick without warranty. If price is an issue and it's not necessary to get a phone right away, wait for the S4 to come out and hopefully the price on the Note II will drop.
@Dopedangel, I just noticed your location. So I guess US version is not an option.

Although the second link is about S3, it's only about 4 pages long, scroll around and see cases about Note II.

I sure hope these are isolated cases as this is the best damn phone I've ever owned
