yes, if you intend to make many calls to home a local card mostly pays off. But if you only need to be reachable and call some hotels etc. it is usually not a big deal to use the same card all over europe nowadays.
And regarding the data rates - my smartphone used about 32 MB last month. So if you use 10 MB in a week and pay 8 Euro while on roaming it is also often not worth to search a local card.
