Don't forget that all of the reading/notation apps have their editing bar across the bottom or top, covering over the top/bottom of the page of music when in annotation mode! I never would have gotten an iPad if I had known this. For me, this drastically interferes with writing and rehearsing, as the editing bar covers up part of the music (unless the music has big margins). So in 4:3 iPad, to write a quick mark on the bottom/top of a page, I have to enter annotation mode, then drag the page away from the editing bar, then write, and then exit annotation mode to continue rehearsing.
The Surface Pro is on my wish list mainly for using Mobile sheets:
Starting with the Surface Pro 8, the screen size is 13" with Windows 11. Cost is rather high, even on refurbished devices
Surface Pro 7 and below has a 12.3" display with Windows 10. Cost is much lower but may not be worth it.
It would be interesting to hear from anyone who uses one or the other for Mobile Sheets and if size matters.
