iPad iPad air 64GB 3G or iPad air 128GB wifi only - what's your gut telling you?

I flirted with 128, but went with 64.
My reasoning was even with 128 I'm still not going to be able to fit ALL my music, films, photos, apps, books, etc.
I'm still going to have to pick and choose media.

Same as you, I've got way more content than 128GB. I don't even have any music or videos on the iPad, it's just all graphic novels (Japanese manga mostly). However, I went with 128GB instead of 64GB. Having 128GB requires much less management than 64GB. I have favorite manga that I like to keep on hand at all times. The 128GB gives me a lot more breathing room. On my 64GB iPad, I couldn't even update my GPS app because storage is always full (like 200MB-1GB free).

Until Apple offers 2TB of cloud storage, I'll always have to manage media.

Even if Apple offers 2TB cloud storage, I still wouldn't bite unless they also give me an unlimited 1Gbit wireless connection.

If you want neither one then you have no reason to comment on the subject. He's asking people who would want one or the other. Obviously.

what kind of question is this? my gut is telling me choose your own ipad. I would want neither of those.

if you need help deciding between two models just say so.

----------

$100 more to got from 64 to 128 makes it very tempting. if you need or want 64 and you are spending that much you might as well spend another $100 and double your storage. It would be interesting to know Apple's reason behind making this jump so relatively inexpensive.
I travel a lot with a Thinkpad work laptop and an iPad with lots of storage means I can carry that instead of my retina MBP, and iPad in addition to my work laptop.
There is a lot of crappy wi-fi out there even in expensive hotels so I also require LTE.
I only want to tether from my iPhone for short time because of the effect on battery and I also want my iPad to be online instantly.

The cellular iPad has GPS the wifi only doesn't, is there a way to get GPS on a wifi iPad? Some kind of Bluetooth GPS receiver? I've read not anyone works...

My gut is telling me, if you get stuck on a desert island, your iPad content will be the least of your worries.

True. The battery only lasts 10 hours /o\

Easy decision for me. I currently have a iPad 3 with 64 Gigs and AT&T cellular. In a year and a half I have never signed up for a plan. I just wasted my money getting the cellular option. Meanwhile I only have 7 gigs free. My next iPad will be 128 gigs and no cellular. Most places that I use my iPad I have wifi access. And when I'm out and about and I need to be online for whatever reason I have my iPhone. Simple as that.
