I also have a 32 gig wifi iPad 1. There are some things you can't do on it. For example, some of the photo editing apps require a later model. And, like you, I would like a smaller screen option, although 7" is too small for a tablet, IMO. I find the Fire that I bought for my grandson is a bit small for typing. It's a good size for a reader, but not a tablet. Maybe something in the neighborhood of 8.5 or 9 inches would be nice. The graphics resolution on my iPad 1 is great. I might appreciate the 3's higher resolution if I traded in my 61 year old eyes for new ones, but otherwise I think the resolution on the Original Flavor is fine. And I'd still like to see something lighter.
