I'm a fairly heavy user so the lack of deep sleep doesn't bother me that much. I can always shut it off if I'm not going to be using it for long periods, anyway.

Also, I consider the openness of the platform and expandable storage to be an advantage over the iPad which offsets some of the compromises. The sharper screen's also a factor in its favor (almost 25% higher DPI).

That's why I rate it where I do. Also, I have to say it's 75% as being not quite as good as an iPad but significantly more than half as good as an iPad as opposed to the value between 74% of an iPad and 76% of an iPad.
