The ~35% discount off list once was all said and done made it a bargain. She's set for another 5 years.
Unless you're really using an iPad to the max as your only device, I see little reason to worry about latest and greatest. But that's an individual decision, of course.
Biggest concern is missing out on new AI capabilities in OS18, as both M2 and M3 have significantly improved neural processing units.
I've been in the market, and for my computing needs, saving $300 beats an M3 chip. I do wish I would have gotten Starlight though. The fingerprint issue is no joke on the Midnight.
