So a few clarifications. It is the 9.7" version (128GB, unlocked LTE) and not the newer 10.5" version. It was available at a price lower than what I paid for the iPad Air 2 (128GB Wi-Fi) 15 months ago. Also where I got it, I had about $80 in credit so it was less than what I would have paid for the 2018 iPad 32GB Wi-Fi version. Ergo it was a no brainer from every possible angle.
Oh and I managed to find a brand new Apple Pencil for $80 and today the Logitech Create Case/Keyboard for $40 (brand new as well). All in all around $450 for the full setup isn't bad at all.
