To each his/her own
I just went by my Apple Store at lunch (I work in the same building)
I played with the mini and found it to be pretty dad gum awesome
I am one of those that really can't tell much difference if any between the displays
Guess I am cursed (blessed?) with poor eyesight or a "don't really care gene"
I understand some get violently ill when they see anything other than retina
Meh, I am not one of them, so it doesn't bother me at all
The design, the build quality, the thinness and lightness... all are very tempting
I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3, so I don't need one and really wasn't considering it
But having held it and used it, I can see where I might find a use for it
My advice is just try it yourself
If it bothers you, don't get one
If it doesn't, then you have a great device
