I've noticed that there are some parts in RIS 1.5 that don't exist in RIS
1.0, and that the programming software is supposed to be better (nesting • of
commands and such), but the Mindstorms site indicates that the upgrade • (set
#3803) is only available in the US. Is the upgrade worth, or can I get the
CD and the parts cheaper elsewhere (I'm not both about the • Constructopedia).
I've heard that there is a clutch in there, is this true? I'm also looking
for the Rotation Sensor and a third Motor to flesh out the parts, any idea
where I can these cheaply and reliably? Thanks for any help.

Shop at Home in the US has the upgrade for $25, I haven't bought one yet.
Here is a closed eBay auction with a picture:

I think you are correct about the clutch gear, you can see one in the parts
bag.

You may want to consider the Ultimate Accessory Set; it has a rotation
sensor, light, and remote control.

If you're looking for motors, I have loose gear motors (new) for sale for
$10 each.  Shipping to the UK is $2 ~ $3 for less than 6 ounces.

I've received a nice email from Lego Shop At Home in the UK (I sent them a query about the parts I wanted as well as a request for a catalogue) and they can give me the RIS 1.0 to 1.5 Upgrade for £20, which is about $28. Not too bad! Dan (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
