I'm looking for recommendations on a reasonably-priced e-music setup for someone with limited funds.
TABLET: I don't have a tablet, so this is my biggest outlay. I'm keen to stick with Android. I'd like a 12"+display but the prices hike up. 10" seems a reasonable compromise but comments welcomed!

FOOT SWITCH/PAGE TURNER: I'm tempted by something like the first of these (simple & cheap) but can't help feeling it could be a false economy. Is it worth paying a bit more for this? Something like the second, or others?

TABLET HOLDER for music stand or mic stand

SOFTWARE: I play in two bands with very different requirements for e-music. A jazz big-band where I need to scroll multi-page PDFs and handle repeats and codas etc., and a covers band where I have a combination of chords-and-lyrics, guitar tabs and sometimes just hand-written notes. I've pretty much settled on MobileSheets as it does Android and seems to handle all of these, where others focus on one or the other. It's also very reasonably priced, and doesn't have the dreaded subscription, which can be very expensive over time.
ANYTHING ELSE? Have I missed anything I'll need? I have a laptop and the MobileSheets companion to help get music onto the tablet.
