No way. If anything, a regular TF would be a better value if you want that game; what the LE adds isn't worth a fraction of the increased price. And the regular version flows better imo. That said, LOTR is a keeper: great for casual players, incredible flow and speed when you're locked in, and the modes/depth are killer. Yeah, they may not seem as cool when you get to know them well and they're familiar, but the broad and deep progress blows TF away in that sense. You'll miss LOTR after a while if you trade it, and will regret the price you have to pay later to get a nice one again.

I dunno. The Keefer Invitational (WPT) may be totally kick-ass. I've never gotten close to it, and haven't seen any reports on it. Also, speculative as it is, WOZ may raise the bar still. Keefer has indicated it would break new ground...
