Well,

Only you can decide.

iPad Pros are premium iPads with premium features and pricing to go along with them.

Only you can decide how much you are willing to spend on an iPad/iPad Pro.

No one here can make that decision for you.


Do you need more than 64 or 256 GBs of internal storage space?


Do you need a larger screen with much more pixels that is much brighter, with a high resolution dymanimc range?


Do you need/want the 120 Hz “ProMotion” screen refresh rate the iPad Pros have?


Do you need/want an iPad model in a variety of colors?


Do you want/need faster, more powerful internal CPU?


Do you want/need more internal processing RAM?


Do you want/need better iPad cameras?


Do you want/need better/more iPad speakers?


Do you want/need to have the new Magic Keyboard portfolio for the 2018/2020/2021 iPad Pro/iPad Air 4 models



All of these options are what you need to decide if you really need, or not, and to decide to pay for accordingly.

The more iPad features you decide you need, the more you pay.


It all comes down to how much money you are willing to spend on iPads with additional, premium features.


You can now pretty much do everything on any current iPad model, now.

All current iPad models are sufficiently powerful enough, today, to do pretty much any task put to them now.

Purchase the largest internal data storage capacity iPad model you can afford as no Apple mobile iOS/iPadOS devices have ANY internal expandable storage.



Best of Luck to You!
