Indeed.
Bonus points for the Purple colour (I love it)
Lol, that’s one thing I love about the recent Airs and mini—the purrty colors. ???
Purple is my favourite colour.
Pity I updated my iPhone in the 13 era, because I love how the purple iPhone 12 looked
If you are on a budget you can always get a cheaper case. On my ipad 11 pro, i'm using a $4.99 folio case. It turned out pretty good, no issues at all. Its similar to this

So money saved went to the apple pencil 2.
iPad Pros are on a weird release schedule. Other than a few outliers with minimal updates (namely 2020 vs 2021), they usually release every 17 months or so.
With the most recent release date of May 21, 2021 (even though it was announced on April 20th), it's entirely possible that Apple will reveal the next iPad Pro line up in October (perfect timing imo with the rumored release of updated Macs with the M2 processor).
Personally I was really tempted to buy the current gen IPP 12.9" (I just want that HDR display), but my 2018 model has been holding up so well that I haven't really committed to the update ever since last year. I'll definitely wait until the fall.
If you are in a rush, I'd say get an older model and resell it again when that new new comes out.

I have decided I'll get an air.
I will eventually purchase a mini-LED main display for my workflow one day and I'll be using that for HDR content consumption.
You’re the brave one. Every once a while I think how nice it would be to have the Midnight Green 11 Pro. It’s like the Nokia 6600 situation, I always wanted it, but never had. Nonono, I got the og N-Gage. Enjoy your new iPad.
Thanks!
But I gotta save money and I have to be smart about my purchases; the Air would allow me do to everything I need and I'd save a cool 450$.
I'd rather get the 2022 Air with the M1 (for longevity) than the 2020 Pro (which is still about 150$ extra than the 2022 Air).
