Keeping the 4th gen as I got a good deal and the size and weight don't bother me in the least. And nor does that bother millions who bought previous large iPads. If it did, well not sure why you kept it!
I just can't get the concept of carrying around the Mini wherever you go...
going to refill the gas...better take the mini
going to eat...better take the mini
going shopping...better take the mini
going to the doctor...better take the mini
Mini makes a great tablet to use in the house especially cause its so light and the iPhone screen is so small. Maybe for trips (traveling, commuting and stuff)...but taking out the Mini like its a phone its just kinda unnecessary.
Since I got my mini for Christmas ... I haven't touched my full size iPad 3. The same with my son and his iPad 2 and his mini. I wonder how long before the honeymoon phase is over? Should I just sell the iPad 3? I was only going to use the mini when I'm on the go but find myself using it at home too. The size is just so perfect! Maybe I should just relegate the mini to my purse and keep it there so then I'll use the 3 at home.
My laptop is too large and bulky to toss in my purse.
that's what the MBA 11" is for
Seriously though, I kept my iPad 3 for a couple of weeks after I bought a Mini but found I didn't use it. Passed it on to my brother, my little niece loves it. I still see it and even then I don't get retina withdrawal symptoms.
I have an iPhone 5.

You should get an iPad 4 too actually
Leave one in the bathroom next to the towels
If you don't keep both then keep the Mini.
Typing is so much easier, this way your plan for galactic domination is much easier to hash out on a Mini.
[...] and after owning an iPad 4, I'd feel like I was downgrading if I reduced all the screen space. I can somewhat understand why people who have never owned an iPad preferring an iPad mini over an iPad, though.
An iPad, iPad mini, and iPhone 5? Seems like lots of redundancy. Personally, I'd keep the mini; ditch the full sized iPad.
