Actually, I wouldn't recommend the RT as a tablet. As a netbook-type device, yes, but a tablet, no.
The aspect ratio (16:9 or 16:10) is weird... too narrow in portrait, too wide in landscape to use it as a tablet. The touch responsiveness and accuracy is barely acceptable. But for productivity use, it is surprisingly good.
I know that many can't see a reason for the RT, but I can't see a reason for the Pro. Honestly, 10.6" is way too small to use as a primary device. I can't think of any legacy software that would be comfortable on that sized screen. That's netbook territory. Netbooks were good in a pinch but not something to be used as a primary computing device. In my opinion anyways.
