NEW Ipad Pro 10.5 -vs- Ipad Pro 9.7

[jeffsvan]

Looks like I'm going with the iPad pro 9.7 128GB.
It will be replacing my iPad 3rd gen with 64GB.

Looks like accessories are cheap and readily available for the 9.7
I'm understanding the 10.5 is a unique size and right this moment since it is new -accessories that fit it are scarce?

I saved $200 by buying the Pro 9.7 with 128GB -vs- a Pro 10.5 with 64GB

I got a RAM mount for $19 and the folder/case I wanted for $14.

BTW I own a Garmin GDL39-3D which is why I bought Wifi only.
I liked the fact that this new pro 9.7 is smaller than my older 9.7
That unit was slightly blocking some of my instruments.
The Ram mount for this new Pro 9.7 is smaller than my older Ram mount (both same model)

Sold my old iPad with case, Ram mount and extra accessories to a friend for $180.

I will report back with my observations on using in a brightly lit cockpit.

Finally tested my Ipad Pro 9.7; Comparing it to my old 3rd Gen Ipad 9.7, it has much less screen glare.
Seems to be completely readable so far in the cockpit. My old 3rd Gen would get washed out pretty badly during daylight hours. Also noted the speed to power on/off the unit, and load/run Apps has significantly increased. Much faster processor. I'm happy.
