>I initially grabbed the smaller iPad without the keyboard case, but in doing so, I realized Apple actually made a mistake: the iPad Pro needs it to really make the most of the device.
I actually prefer a $20 bluetooth keyboard. It’s easy to use away from the ipad if I’m doing video or audio editing, and I can also raise the ipad in a stand and use the keyboard detached. I find the keys better too, and it has media shortcuts.

The stand is nice too. Super easy to rotate, or remove it.
My experience with the ipad pro is much as the OP describes. I find it really helps focussed work, and in general is much more a joy to use than a computer. I think the 120hz screen helps.
It cannot do everything thought. So there’s a certain category of stuff that’s hard on ipad, and I do from an imac. This category is shrinking however.
I may switch to a USB keyboard with a dongle, as I do find a full fledged computer keyboard more comfortable. The one downside there is you can’t remap keys, so you need one made for mac.
