Man I was really hoping the orange would come stateside. Prevented me from opening my Aqua blue one for half a year.
Anyway, was potentially interested since this is the only way to get physical, but consensus is this game is the worst of the series? Haven't tried any Ateliers before
It really is a gorgeous system. My personal favourite is still the Lime green/white one though.
They really aren't all that more expensive to import to be honest.
Well it depends on what Vita's go for in the west nowaday since I haven't kept up on hardware prices.

Haven't played Shallie myself yet, even though I bought it near launch on PS3. Way too many games and not enough time to get to all them it seems.
But from the ones I have played for a decent time so far, Totori, Rorona and Sophie, I'd have to say that each one of them has their own charm. Sometimes it's that characters that take the upper hand, at others it's the systems themselves or how the story plays out.
I've yet to play a modern Atelier game I didn't like.
They certainly are a special niche though. Bit like the Animal Crossing, crossed with a traditional RPG in a world that reminds me of Kiki's Delivery Service.
