Just by chance ... do you own a Retina Mini? If you do, can you share with us how much battery life you are getting?
By the way, I find the gamut thing interesting but way off topic.
I started the thread to compare the iPad air vs Mini in terms of weight and usability. And I see lot of people posting links and making comments about gamut and differences in color, but do you actually own both?
Again, for the regular "John Doe", the differences are minimum. And I can tell you for sure that if someone get a Retina Mini without buying an iPad air, that person probably will be satisfied in terms of screen quality.
I know few users here bought a Retina Mini and they are actually satisfied with their purchases.
