I intend to buy an IPad soon. I don;t see the need for an IPad pro for my intentions. (Guitar Audio and midi.) My dilemma is whether I should go with an IPad or an IPad mini. The obvious difference is screen size. However, I can get twice the storage space for less money with the mini. Any advice from current IPad users on this? The processor seems to be the same in both.
Thanks

"Sweet spot" for power  / price  / performance is a gently used Pad AIR2  - much faster (nearly 2X faster) than iPad MINI

I recommend 64GB minimum or 128GB

Gently used  / refurbished 128GB AIR2 are under $400 if you look

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Apart from the other huge amounts of great advice Elantric contributes here this type of info is gold. It potentially stops us from buying something that maybe isn't as good and we bought the better option and made a better investment.

Thanks Elantric.

So true MCChad. I likely would have bought a mini had I not seen this info. Elantric ROCKS!
