Battery life not great, and at 16 G, need more space and speed.  It sometimes crashes for no reason.

It has served my MSP needs well enough, that's about all I use it for, mostly because of it's space and speed "limitations".

I've liked the 10 size, as it fits more discreetly on a music stand, but with my "aging" eyes, I'm wondering if I should go larger.....

advice?  ideas?

I researched my options for months.  Here is what I ended up doing:
I bought two Amazon  Fire HD 10 tablets.  It goes on sale quite often on Amazon for $99, so the pair cost me $198.  32 gig version is oodles.  They work great with MobileSheetsPro. I place both on the music stand and it gives me a beautiful view of  two full pages of music.  
I've been using a Microsoft Surface, but am considering an Android device now (for reasons unrelated to Mobile Sheets).

I would like my next tablet/monitor to be somewhat bigger, I think.   The Surface displays single-page lead sheets great, and even is sufficient for me for many 2-page lead sheets.  But my sight is getting worse and I wouldn't mind a screen size that came closer to approximating actual hard-copy sheet music.  Only caveat is that it needs to be convenient to take to gigs.

Can you give me a sense how a single page looks on one Fire 10 tablet?  Is it fairly close to the size of a single-page of music?  If so, I'd definitely consider getting a pair.
