I was, however, encouraged by a review that suggested there’s very little difference in the feel of the new iPad (when using Apple Pencil) from the way an iPad Pro feels. From Alphr:
“The Apple Pencil itself is now £10 cheaper than before (£89 down from £99), but it hasn’t had any upgrades. This means it feels and works in the same way as before. There were no discernible differences between using the Apple Pencil on the new, cheaper iPad and using one on the iPad Pro…” (http://www.alphr.com/apple/1008933/apple-ipad-2018-review)

Another useful review (because by sensible writer with hands-on experience) of the new iPad 2018, comparing it with the Pro:

Sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself. :)
It’s a spec bump: faster processor (still slower than last year’s iPad Pros, which themselves will be refreshed in a couple of months) and Pencil/Crayon support. That’s it. No other real changes. I’ve used the air-gapped 2017 model, and there’s a real difference between it and the laminated screens. The iPad Pro has a wider color gamut, an antireflective coating, and True Tone support (so it matches the lighting of the room you’re in). If you’re working with photos or videos, that extra color is going to matter.
This new low-end model also doesn’t have the iPad Pro’s ProMotion technology with a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes all motion on the screen smoother, crisper, and more responsive, *especially* if you’re drawing on the screen.
Last year’s Pro’s front camera is better, and the rear one is image-stabilized, unlike the new iPad’s.
These are substantial differences, and we haven’t even seen what the specs (or prices) will be on the new iPad Pros, which should be announced or out by WWDC in June.
