Well, I would prefer to get Bikes for several reasons. I'm in Australia, and getting stuff from France can be a pain. Even bikes cost 10 AUD upwards here (8.64 USD, and the AUD is lowww at the moment). Also there are size/finish issues, and as far as I am aware standard French face cards are coloured differently from these. It's a matter of ease really. I have enough decks for now. I'm not going to put too much effort into buying pretty decks from overseas, considering the costs. However, Anglo face cards just rub me the wrong way. Why couldn't they be pretty, like most European standard faces? In short, I like pretty things, but not enough to put too much effort and money into obtaining them.
