Anyone upgraded from a 9.7 iPad to the 12.9?

Considering this at the minute. I've got a 2017 iPad which I'm enjoying more than I thought I would but I feel like I'd like something bigger. So I'm considering last years 12.9 pro model second hand.

Everything I have now is a large screen. I have 2x 23" monitors at work. I use a 34" monitor at home and a 65" TV. Even my phone is 5.5". The iPad feels just a bit underwhelming screen wise both in terms of size and quality. I would imagine the 12.9 solves that problem but is it the too big as a tablet? I think it would be ok.

Also has anyone got the keyboard accessory and is it any better than using the onscreen keyboard as that is a frustration with the current iPad. I would imagine the 12.9 model may not need it, but still might be nice to have?

Not too bothered about the carrying around aspect as it will be 99% used in the house, with the other 1% on a train watching movies or reading.

I just feel as though the larger model would be easier to use in most respects, including hitting the target (i.e. hyperlinks, small buttons) as well as easier to read for my aging eyes! Also added "immersiveness" in games and video.

The alternative is of course a laptop (particularly a hybrid/convertible) but a decent one of these costs just as much or more, won't be as good for games and things like that, and has the disadvantage of running the highly strung Windows which I really CBA with after fixing Windows issues all day at work!

Thanks ^ Not exactly lots of great endorsements for the bigger model... maybe I should just stick with my 2017 iPad. Will have a think over the weekend...
