The new iPad Pro is GORGEOUS, but honestly, I'd rather get the 10.5 inch at half the price (from a third party retailer, they can be found for literally half the price). Also has cheaper accessories, OIS, and a headphone jack. Obviously the new 11" is better in almost every way by far, but at double the price of the 10.5 inch, it's just not quite worth to me... At least not yet. What do you think if you would have to decide between iPad Pro 1 (1000$) or iPad Pro 10.6 (600$). Best
 
I see no reason why you shouldn’t. The new pro’s upgrades are just superficial and won’t really help you be anymore productive. And the new one took out some things I liked. Like smart covers! And the split keyboard im using to type this right now. I’ll probably get it just because my Christmas bonus is coming up and why not, but I wouldn’t pay double the price of a 10.5 for it. It’s just not worth twice the price.

Only crappy part is resale value is kinda bad these days. I’ll pronablu end up selling mine for like $450

Looks like you answered your own question. The money difference is significant, and besides saving money, you’d be able to do everything you want to do on the 10.5” that you could on the 11” and be completely happy. So I say go for it. No debate. No need to ask anyone or angst about it. Get the 10.5 and start enjoying it!
