The 9.7 is quite amazing in weight and thinness to hold. I'm quite happy that the 10.5 maintained the 6.1mm thinness. Curious to see/hold this in person.
Got a tip for us?

33 Grams to be precise, the 9.7" iPP was 444g for the wifi+cellular model and it is 477g for the 10.5" wifi+cellular.

Yeah but with the extra 33grams increase in weight

It's going to be a challenge, that's for sure.
The 10.5 Pro is around the same weight as the Air and the 9.7 Pro is around Air 2.
Quite honestly, I can't tell the weight difference between the Air/Air 2 even if I hold one in each hand. Same goes for thickness unless both are sitting level on a flat surface where it's easy to compare. I have to look for the either TouchID or Mute/Rotation Lock switch to tell which is which.
MacRumors has never done a hands on review after a keynote AFAIK. They always publish round ups from other sites like Engadget and The Verge. They're probably on Apple's PR blacklist for some reason.
MR has posted for the Siri Speakers I wonder why they didn't post an article for the 10.5" iPP.
Yes they posted a round up - they didn't have direct acccess themselves. However, I see your point. Frankly, I'd recommend just going to Engadget, The Verge et. Al and reading the first impressions yourself.
