So I have a 9.7" pro and was wondering if it is worth upgrading to the 10.5" model? Looking at comparisons, not sure if it is that much of an improvement over the 9.7", thoughts?

I don’t think it’s worth upgrading, unless you want the slightly larger screen.
I thought the same until I decided to pick one up last night. Wowzers, this thing is incredible. The screen with the 600 knit is stunning. The 120 Hz speed is buttery smooth. Makes the current 9.7 pro feel jittery. You also feel it being 30% faster with the A10X. It's stunning fast. I hadn't used my Apple Pencil in a year. That has made me think different with the new speed. The double the RAM is major for multitasking. Now cameras, I could care less. I don't use my iPad for photo taking. Not everybody will feel the same but I feel like this is a great upgrade over the 9.7 pro. They say the screen is 20% bigger. It does feel that way.
I know not everybody will see the value but this is just my honest thoughts. I usually buy things on launch day. I was hesitant and took me 2 days to actually want to try it. I even drove an hour to find an Apple Store that I had I wanted. Space gray 256 cellular 10.5. The 2 closer apple stores were sold out of this exact model. It was worth the drive.

Wow! That’s saying something because the current 9.7” iPad Pro is still a beast, and is even better with iOS 11. I’m going to have to drop by an Apple Store and check out the newest models. I still won’t buy one, though, I’m sure I’ll be tempted...
I agree and have even splashed out on the Apple keyboard and pencil, coming Monday. I liked my 9.7 pro but didn't feel like it was worthy of the pro tools. This one is worth the money i wouldn't of said the same about the 9.7 pro coming from a air 2.
Passed it onto my wife now and selling her Air 2 which isn't easy.
I agree completely. The pro 9.7 felt like it should have been an iPad Air 3 with pencil support. It wasn't anything special.
I don’t think it’s worth upgrading, unless you want the slightly larger screen.
It's a way better iPad, just using it in store won't do it, got to have it in hand for a few days.
I am sending my original 64gb back and getting another on Monday with keyboard and pencil on 18 months interest free from Apple, thats how good i think it is.
Yeah i got mine for new for $400 under retail so was worth it, i didn't like the Air 2 either because of the speaker vibration and screen distortion, got it new for $300 16gb 4G which was half new price, cant even get $399 at the moment. We have a good online/store buyer here i offload to sometimes, no eBay or gumtree dramas, they will pay $270 and don't want accessories so might sell to them, $30 for a near years use is not bad.
I’m sure it is a better iPad, but for “me”, my 9.7” iPad Pro will remain with me for a while.......Anyway, let me know when your new toys arrives...
Might try the 12.9, going from 9.7 to 10.5 didn't seem a big enough upgrade for the money. I don't have a laptop anymore so this might fill the void between my iPhone 7 and 27" 5K iMac.
