Does anybody see any downside from a US employer perspective in following this route?

Precisely what I have just done over the last two years (not an MBA but an MSc). From your posts and given your experience, you look like you are in the same boat I was - you need the degree more to tick the box above any other reason, and if your experience qualifies you to get on a UK MBA - well so be it; kills two birds with one stone (and a lot less money)!

I hear you. What I am primarily after is not being excluded from the initial selection because of my lack of degree (ie The HR Police). I don't suppose HR give a damn where I got the MBA (so long as it is from a recognized uni) so long as I have it?

Lets face it half the battle is getting past HR
