I think at this point I'm going to rule out the Ipad pro just for the cost factor. I understand the ipad air 2 is heavier then the Pro but is it really too heavy and awkward to handle? I just don't want to regret getting the ipad mini 2 or 4 if a bigger screen is better. Seems like most people like the 8" platform but I'm assuming it comes to personal preference (just an expensive way to find out which one you like better).
