I'm not sure if I'm going to get one. I may just stick with my iPad Air 2 which still runs perfectly fine. I'm not sure how beneficial a keyboard and pencil would be on a 9.7 inch display. I'm not even sure if I'd use the pencil and if I wanted to do any real work I'd find it much easier to use my MacBook Air.
The price increase would also make me stop and think. I currently have a 128GB iPad Air 2. It sounds like the base model of the iPad pro 9.7 will cost almost as much as I paid for my iPad Air 2 with 128GB.
I skipped the Air 2 to wait for the Air 3. Currently use a 3rd generation which is well due an upgrade.
