What Storage Size for Ipad Pro?

Stuck determining whether to get a 256GB or 512GB model. As I do not have a laptop, currently, I will putting more content on this device than I would if I had iTunes available more often. Back in 2006, I bought an 80GB HDD iPod classic and had it filled with SD TV shows and music.

I figure between movies, TV shows, games, music, PDFs, and other files and applications could quickly add up to 256GB. When my wife bought her 64GB Air 2 three years ago, we thought it was more than enough. She puts no TV shows on it, some games (less than I will), only a few movies, and almost no music and it has 7GB left. I plan on using this for many years, so three years from now 256GB is not likely to amount to much when tablets are getting 1TB storage options and games are getting higher definition assets and applications like Netflix offer even higher resolution downloads. Still stuck wondering.

I know the price difference is $200.00 more for the 512 GB, but Based on your preferences, perhaps the largest storage is a safe bet. Especially being you said you don't have a laptop and this will likely be your Main device for content. And then you factor in software updates, movies/Games/other media, play a role in consuming memory quickly.
