Unfortunately, I have no idea about the "sticky" issue.
I didn't check intensively, but I didn't stumble over any similar description in the web.
As, to my knowledge, all manufacturers use displays from the same sources, there shouldn't be any "ASUS specific" problems.
It was pretty obvious and annoying. I didn't just feel it in my fingers, my stylus didn't slide smoothly as well.
But I don't think, you have to worry. I probably got a "Monday unit", as we say in Germany. Probably an isolated issue.
From the specs, Transformer Prime actually seems to be benchmark for now. But, as we all know, this "pole position" probably will last exactly 25 minutes.
I've given up a long time ago, to aim for the newest units all the time. It shouldn't be outdated already when buying. But I don't worry about the next gadget around the corner, which will be a bit faster, cheaper and more compact...
About the size and form factor:
Personally, I've changed my perception quite a few times already. First I was into the big tablets - finally big enough to actually use them. Then I was into the 7" tablets, as I often travel light. Then I was into the mid sized units - the perfect compromise it seemed.
For now, my favorites are Sony Tablet P and Samsung Galaxy Note. Highly mobile and still big enough for most needs. I'll see, whether that's just the "new factor", or whether this will last.
Still, I find it easy enough, to take anything (including my MacBook Air) below 11" display with me all the time.
