One of the UK's arguments for not joining Schengen was that an island nation can manage immigration with checks at border posts instead of "identity cards, residence permits, and registration with the police" which are necessary in a free movement area that has a large land frontier. That sounds like a good trade-off to me.

That's a good one, and worth thinking about!

That was my main thought; it depends what else comes with it.

Interestingly Denmark doesn't have identity cards and is part of the Schengen Area.
