As for your question, I would probably go with an iPad Air, because it's more affordable.

Both models are built well and have a similar form factor so what it boils down to, in my opinion, is what is your use case and how much are you willing to spend? Either device should last you years.

But really they aren’t ? Isn’t the air only 64gb then to up to 128 about the same price?

I’d say always there will be difference in hardware not most in design. So how much important is hardware?
iPad Pro has little bit older processor but GPU is much better. iPad Pro comes with 6Gb RAM, which will improve productivity in long term. Yes I know iPadOS is very well optimised and it will work very well on iPad Air with 4Gb RAM.
What I love on iPad Pro it has 4 speakers. SO damn good. Not perfect than on MacBook Pro 16”. And last what I think what you prefer - face id or touch id? Face ID is cool feature on iPad Pro but anyway on purchase things you need to double press power button. In that position touch id will be better.

If I were purchasing a new iPad today, as I said before, I would go with the Air. This is because I use the iPad for surfing the web, dealing with email, playing a few games, and streaming Netflix, Hulu, and Prime. If I were going to be using it for other things, I would consider the Pro.
