The screen is a bit slow to refresh when in planning mode (but for the most part I use my PC for that anyway, and save the route to the cloud ready to open on my tablet). In the plane it works perfectly.
Exactly - I suppose they're much of a muchness and one's decision is based on previous experience. My old iPad 2 supports 3G (to get the internal and perfectly usable GPS), but no SIM. I also download new routes from the cloud that were prepared on a PC. A nice benefit of doing this just before flying is that all the Wx/NOTAM info is downloaded for the route too.
