The reason being is tethering does not seem to be that stable with my iPhone 6s Plus sometimes. I really don’t want to pay a monthly fee for my tablet too though.

One question does the iPad Pro Wi-fi/4g lte model have a gps unlike the other model?
 
Depends on the monthly fee and how much data you get I guess. I have a pro 12.9 on verizon and i get unlimited for $20

How often do you tether? I bought a LTE iPad, once, and tbh, I found I didn't really use the LTE portion much. I understand my use case is not yours.

Yes, the LTE model has GPS.
its a minor feature, but not enough imo, that would help justify purchasing a LTE model iPad. Its not like you'll be driving and holding an iPad :p

Maybe once a month if that.

True.

my opinion is that one of the best benefits of an ipad over a PC is built in 4G connectivity

If you use it. I have zero need for LTE, and while I use my iPad quite often, I've yet come to a situation where I stated I needed LTE. The OP, posted he may need it once a month, if that much.

I would keep the current device then. I only ever use the WiFi iPads and have an iPhone for the few times a year when there is a need to use it in the field with tethering.
