So we have a dying 16gb iPad 2, it's my daughter's, iOS8 has not been kind to the device... so I'm looking to trade it into Best Buy this weekend.

They're currently running a deal for $150 for the iPad 2 and a $50 coupon (minmum $200 deal) if you buy the iPad Air 2.

It looks as though if you don't buy the Air 2 you'll get $150 (at least so it seems on the website) and the remainder of $50 is given to you in a coupon.

My current plan is to buy a 64gb Air 2 for myself and give her my 64gb rMini... an upgrade for both of us.

But I've been thinking. It would save me a little bit of money to buy the 16gb or 32gb for $399 or $449 (and getting $150 for my iPad 2 instead of $200) instead of paying $599 (minus $200) for the Air 2 64gb.

Basically to simplify things; which is the more worthy upgrade from an iPad 2?

iPad Air 16gb-32gb for $250-$300 or iPad Air 2 64gb for $400?
