My daughter need iPad for her school. I have already iPad Air 3 (2019) with Apple Pencil Gen 1 (I rarely use the pencil). I’m considering 2 options:
1. Buy her iPad 8 and give my 1st gen Apple Pencil for her. I kept using existing iPad Air 3
2. Give my iPad Air 3 & Apple Pencil. I bought iPad Air 4 (2020)

Is the cost difference of the 2 options $270 worthy for iPad Air 3 -> 4 upgrade? I use iPad usually for reading paper, books and Ms Teams / Zoom during WFH.

Thanks!

The iPad Air 4 has a better display for reading.
