Does anyone else find it difficult to go back to the 9.7 iPad after using the 12.9?

I find the 12.9" hard to get used to. It's more of a tabletop product than a handheld one.
I think this applies to anything you acquire that is larger in size, rather it be from a smaller car to a larger vehicle or a smaller t.v. To a larger t.v., and smart phones for that matter.
My example would the iPhone SE, it's a great phone, but I miss the size of the 4.7 iPhone which I owned originally. Which is why I look forward to upgrading to the iPhone 7 in a few weeks.

I had a 12.9 Pro and downsized to a 9.7 Pro. At first it seemed small, sort of like how the 12.9 Pro seemed big when I first held it. But what won out for me was how I can use the 9.7 Pro everywhere whereas with the larger one I left it at home for some uses.
I had the 12.9 and the 9.7. I felt bad like it was a waste of money owning both so I returned the 12.9 thinking the 9.7 would be more portable. However I miss the larger 12.9 inch screen. Even though it was large it really felt like a laptop replacement. The smaller version doesn't feel like a replacement at all. I'm just going to chuck it as just wanting what I dont have.
No going back for me too! But.....
...i would love to purchase a new ipad mini (Pro hopefully?). I find the phone way too small and the 9.7 too in-the-middle. A mini would be perfik for vacation and business trips.

I have an Air 2 and bought a 12.9 Pro, which I intended to use for work purposes. Admittedly the 12.9 is awesome and all but it was just too big to take to and from work, so I bought a 9.7 Pro, which works perfect for what I need at work. I decided to keep both, the 12.9 at home and the 9.7 at work. I'm giving my Air 2 to my wife.
I use both sizes iPad Pro daily and the biggest thing for me is the different keyboards. They are great devices.
I have both sizes of iPad Pro and mix it up, using which ever one I feel like for the day or the situation. I love both sizes. Since having the 12.9" Pro though, the 9.7" feels more like my mini 2 did when I owned mini 2 & Air 2. So I find the 9.7" size much more portable since having the 12.9", just an illusion, but it works for me.
I would like to buy the 9.7" pro as well, so I can use it as a law/reference/note-book when I'm reading/ annotating/ typing on the 12.9.
But it's hard to justify the (undeniable high) cost, certainly when yearly taxes, insurance and university tuition are all due next month.
But perhaps in October/November when a new iPad Pro 9.7" is launched?!
