Guessing it's iOS and not the hardware itself that was the issue. iOS 11 might improve things but for the most part, the 10.5 Pro isn't going to do much that the 9.7 Pro can't do.So you're not tempted to upgrade from your 9.7" Pro but you found it lacking in many tasks?
Personally, I've been waiting for the 2nd gen 12.9 and for apps to mature before diving in. The 512GB capacity bump was a very nice surprise.iPP 9.7 owners positively chose the smaller iPad Pro. If they wanted something bigger, wouldn't they have gone for the 12.9" model in the first place?

Well, somewhat.... They did get a 10.5 inch screen into it. It's a bit taller, but only marginally wider (174.1mm vs. 169.5mm). And it's (of course) a bit thinner, but the same weight. So for most people, I don't think they'd notice much difference except for the price.I really can't believe they made the damn thing physically bigger.

As for myself, I'm definitely trading up. I jumped the gun and went to the Apple Store today, thinking they were already out. The employee told me they had no idea when they were getting a shipment in, and didn't even have any on the display tables.
It's interesting that the Mini is still available -- but only in the 128 gb size for $399 -- whereas the regular iPad starts at $329 for 32 gb.
4GB RAM, Touch ID 2, 512GB storage option, increased screen size, 120Hz refresh rate, fast charging....that would be a YES
Addendum to this, one of my pet peeves is minor but noticeable lag in animations, transitions, scrolling, etc. Depending on how nice I find ProMotion to be on the 12.9 Pro, I could end up getting the 10.5 Pro, too.There'll probably be some teething pains with the new resolution on the 10.5 so I'll likely keep my 9.7 Pro until the next round of updates. Heck, I think comiXology only got optimized for 12.9 this April. Kinda wavering. I have two iPads that will get replaced (both iPad 4s). One is definitely getting replaced by the 12.9 Pro. The other, I might just replace next year. We'll see.
