For *those* features, I might do either or both.
But for starters I'll target the x86 version.
The pen support will make it a killer editing tablet for documents. And the timing is perfect; I was looking for an ultrabook upgrade for the fall.

Based on what they said, I think your price estimates are about right, noting that the cover-with-keyboard is going to be an additional expense. But final pricing is probably something Microsoft isn't going to announce until they are ready to take people's money (this is one Apple launch event feature they were unable to clone, apparently).
I haven't been thinking about getting an ultrabook, but Surface/Win8Pro does interest me because it could replace 2 devices I currently carry around now (MacBook Pro & Xoom), and shave my "payload" significantly (not to mention caring and feeding overhead). I think Surface is hitting a sweet spot, and am looking forward to some hands on reviews to confirm this impression.
