Samsung Galaxy S3 or Samsung Galaxy Note II?

IMO paying 30k+ for a device housing previous gen SOC is totally not worth it moreover the likes of htc one/sgs4 are sure to be pricier at launch (here) and the launch itself won't be happening anytime soon so Z @36k seems your best bet right now provided you don't fancy an s pen
but am afraid the impact of those happenings will take some time to reach here in full swing.

All depends on usage.

Nope.
Note II has the best screen, the bigger screen and the SPen, a feature extremely unique, the SPen is an amazing device and its worth every penny, also better multitasking, so Note II is basically a mini tablet for serious use(work related) plus fun and gaming on the side, which works just as well.
Xperia Z is all about performance, it has neither a better screen nor multitasking features like multiwindows, what it has however is s faster CPU/GPU, a higher res screen, a better camera, waterproof etc.
So if I wanted a phone to take care of my emails and other work related tasks, like reading/editing excel docs, powerpoint slides etc, reading ebooks(specially for this), maybe drawing a bit on the side(for ref I can't draw), then Note II is for me, its the blackberry for androids if I am allowed to exaggerate.
But if I am a fun loving guy who likes to keep his work in the office, on a laptop etc, if I like to handle my phone rough, maybe go outside on a rainy day talking to my gf, if I want the best performance money can buy, if I want to play games with as much FPS as possible, if I want a uber cool camera on the side, and mostly if I am a guy who likes to separate his life from his work and want to enjoy a cool phone I'd get the Z.
Now personally, if I can afford it right now, I would get the Z, but maybe in a few years, when I can no longer keep my office out of my personal life, I'll probably pick the Note series, for convenience.
