Hey, looking into buying an iPad this week sometime...

Just wondering, should I get the iPad2 or is the retina display on the latest iPad worth the extra hundred?

Thoughts/advice?

Also any extra info concerning these two models that might help make the decision easier?

From what I can see they're fairly similar so I'm inclined to save the $100 and get the iPad2, but wanted some opinions.

Thanks! :)
 
The general consensus seems to be that outside of the gorgeous screen, iPad 3 wasn't that great an upgrade. Personally, I'm still using the first iPad and haven't really felt the need to upgrade.
 
What Soapy said. I have an iPad 2 and haven't felt the need to upgrade just for a better screen.
 
Went ahead and bought the 2. Given how quickly these iPads are upgraded and redistributed, didn't make much sense to not get the 2 when it's not much different from the latest one. Thanks all.
