So the marketing for the 10.5 Smart Keyboard is that it is actually a full size keyboard this time around compared to the 9.7, but I've seen a couple reviews that question Apple's definition of "full size."

Anyone have both and can give a comparison? Photos of them side by side?
 
I had both. Just sold my 9.7 and its keyboard last week. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures. A lot of the reviews question the full-size remark because compared to a desktop or even laptop keyboard its still smaller. However, its fair to say it has a full-size layout. Most of the buttons are sizable. Definitely more space, but nothing to write home about. It does feel a bit more comfortable to type this paragraph out on my 10.5 ASK than it would have on my 9.7 though.
