Indeed.
I had initially planned to go with the combo you mentioned, however, cancelled the MKB pre-order and preordered the Combo Touch instead.
Having spent a couple of years using Surface Pro devices, this is going to be a similar experience with a huge $$ saving.
I have both a 12.9 Magic Keyboard and a 3rd gen Smart Keyboard folio. I assumed and Apple finally confirmed that the Magic Keyboard will work with the 5th gen but after taking a close look at the Logitech Combo I’ve been thinking that if I really had to replace the MKB the Logitech might be the better choice. The versatility, just pull off the keyboard when it‘s not needed and still have a multi-position stand for the ipad, being able to place it behind the ipad and use the device vertically even while it‘s attached, make this thing a great, and less expensive, option.
I had looked at Brydge keyboards since they were first offered and while they are beautifully made devices functionality has been terrible reading all the reviews. Hopefully they are at the stage where reliability is a lot better, but with a history of being bigger, heavier and far less reliable I’d have to pass. The drawbacks to the Logitech are mainly my own habits, it would take up greater space than I normally have while using my iPad Pro, lap use would be very problematic if not impossible with the keyboard in place. But that shear versatility and the fact it uses the native connector for use, functionality has been very good I believe, and looks so nice make it very compelling.
