I'm not sure where your getting your facts, but the GTab uses the T2; the iPad uses the PowerVR
The T3 is 3x faster than the T2. And the T2 is comparable to the PowerVR used by the iPad 2
But say that the Prime did have a poor GPU, the quad core processors would more than make up for that.

It depends on what it's used for. But for video editing, gaming, high def video, etc the quad core will make a difference.
Right now games have to scale down to handle the lower processors speeds but when most tablets have quad or better game graphics will get better too.

Agreed cheaper is better, but remember you also get additional features like a USB host and an SD card reader.
