Just looking for some opinions before I buy. Has anyone seen a significant difference with the iPad Pro with 4gb of ram?

I've noticed that the iPad is almost illegally fast. Nasty-fast nasty. I don't know if this a product of the 4GB of RAM the A9X or a combination but the device has been so fast it's almost scary. It's fun to see animations, transitions, and games just be sliced through by this device. If the size works for you this is definitely the device to have. Also, audio on this device is really really good. Movies and music really benefit from the excellent depth and stereo imaging this device offers. Sound is noticeably better than the Air 2.
I came from the 2012 iPad "New" ("The new iPad"), otherwise known as the iPad 3 or Retina iPad with the 30-pin connector.
It had 1GB of RAM and it struggled to keep more than 3-4 apps in memory. I tried a few other iPads and while they were quicker, they still struggled to keep more apps in memory. The iPad Air 2 fared better thanks to 2GB of LPDDR3 instead of 1GB.
Then, we have the iPad Pro, with 4GB of LPDDR4. I actually use one now as my main tablet and there is a serious improvement. I can keep as many as 8 apps in memory, some of which being heavy 3D games with intense graphics. No apps have reloaded yet and games always stay where I left them. Add the fact that it's LPDDR4 along with fast NVMe storage AND the A9X processor and this thing is a speed machine.
