I’m in love with my 12.9. It completely replaced my MBP, and I also use it for a lot of ipad things. I kept my Air2 as a complementary device, and I’ll upgrade it to a 10.5 eventually. I use the two devices in tandem... the smaller one takes the place of books and papers.
Recently purchased 10.5 so after using 9.7, 10.5 & 12.9 Pros, I prefer 10.5. Seems like a sweet spot between 9.7 & 12.9.
I decided to use the Apple Magic Keyboard, and so I wanted a case with a good and sturdy stand function. I considered the Sena case, but ended up going with the Zugu Prodigy X. I'm sure the Sena has nicer materials with its high quality leather, but the extra stand angles of the Zugu won me over.
I also have the ASK and the Zugu and use the Zugu all the time. That plus a Bluetooth keyboard work better for me and the ASK was a bad buy.
I have had the 12.9” gen 2 since June 19th. Originally I would have told you that I was ok with the large size. I am a small female but I hated the too small Mini I had for a short time so when updating from my 9.7”, I wanted to go big. I have enjoyed the top row numbers on the 12.9” but lately I am just so tired of this large heavy size, I am wishing I had the 10.5 instead.
I mostly use this big 12.9” in my lap for mindless consumption, no movies, no games. I do have an Apple Pencil, Affinity Photo for the iPad, 256gb, shoot Raw photos on my camera. I thought at the time of order, oh I really need 256gb but here it is January and I have less than 15gb used. I do just enough photography to stick with the Pro/Pencil but I could save some money and be fine with 64gb.
I say all this because I am seriously considering getting a 10.5, my 18 y.o. Grandaughter is so wanting this 12.9” ipad. Since she is on her way to getting an athletic scholarship to a top college, I try to do whatever I can for her.

After using my mom's 2015 12.9'' iPad Pro + Apple Pencil, I finally jumped in and bought my first iPad yesterday. (never felt the need to have one until I used my mom's for the past year.) I'm a graphic designer/illustrator and the extra space is so useful for drawing. I love my rMBP dearly, but I like to draw digitally, and it's a pain to drag my rMBP, medium Wacom Intuos tablet and a large sketchbook with me between my boyfriends apartment and my house...
