Should I import a game console that costs less or buy one locally despite having a higher price tag?

I’m considering whether I should import my console from another country where its the equivalent of 354€ while the same in where I live costs 520€ (inc. VAT), but the biggest gripe I have is warranty (since that is region locked, as repairs are only covered & valid in where the console is purchased) besides tariffs, so putting that into perspective: should I risk importing it or being ripped off buying the same thing in my country?
