It's the same as with ebooks: first you choose between kindle and epub and after you choose epub Kindle becomes irrelevant. And vice-versa.

I have a Mini in addition to a full size iPad. The screen on the Mini is fine. I agree with you that the portability factor and the iOS system more than make up for any perceived screen inferiority. The big iPad gets used at home but the Mini is starting to get used at home too. It's a great little gadget.
