What is or isn't a good deal to one person or another does not matter. If you are in the market and can save on the special deals (and yes for now they are special deals even if they will return). I sold a 2 year old mini and was able to get a great refurb deal on Amazon, which saved me around $185 off the cost of the Air 2. If I can get a couple of years out of the Air 2 I'll be very happy. All this nonsense about oh I'd wait and that's not really a deal because when the 3 comes out that will be the standard price. GEEZ! You could be talking almost a year that one could be enjoying the device.
 
I dont get why people are saying the Air2 is old, its got me confused. Isn't the air 2 the top of the line, cream of the crop 9.7" current ipad out there?

There is nothing else to compare as it is the apple flagship 9.7"
By all means wait up to a year but rest assured that if you opt for the A2 then you are opting for a beast of an ipad.

The Air 2 is the current and top of the line of iPad Air line up. The Air 2 was released over a year ago. I got my Air 2 last BF(2014) at the same price. Pro is a new addition to iPad line up.

If I were going to buy the tablet today, iPad Air 2 is still be the one.

I am sure the new Air is on the horizon. But, for the price and performance, it is still really good table.
 
Just upgraded my Mini 2 16GB & iPhone 5S 16GB to iPad Air 2 64GB & iPhone 6S 64GB.
Well worth the upgrade for the 64GB storage & 2GB RAM to last till 2017 for the iPhone 7S & iPad Air 4.

Next year will probably be my MacBook Pro upgrade for the newly redesigned MBP if financially possible.

In reality, the iPad Air 2 has not been updated to a new model in over a year because it just doesn't need to. Almost every android tablet is slower than the iPad Air 2 plus tablet applications are not using the power the iPad Air 2 has anyways. The iPad Air 2 is still an overpowered iPad in my book that has not been fully utilized. The iPad pro is just outrageously overpowered for no apparent reason yet until Apple adds new features.
