It was the other way around for me. My first tablet was an iPad, and then I switched to Android (I like to have current hardware, and with Apple, that is more expensive than I felt comfortable with). I have never regretted it and was able to find replacement for all my frequently used apps.
As for your dilemma -- well, I tend to get like this with musical instruments. For a while now, I have been into kalimbas. First, I wanted a treble one in G major, then I was curious about the alto model, also in G major. Then, next, I wanted an African tuned one, with a different layout. After that, I read about a chromatic kalimba, so, I bought one of those also, #4. And now I have my eyes on a G minor tuned instrument that sounds so lovely and would enrich my life tremendously! (I am waiting a month, however!) Each of them cost as much as a better e-ink reader ($150).
Do I need all of these? Nope. Neither did I need three ukuleles instead of one. I could have re-tuned the kalimbas, and saved money, but .. at the end of the day, I work so that I can afford "nice stuff" that I enjoy, even if it's not economical and even reasonable. Usually with these kinds of expenses the choice is between getting one thing that is not essential or getting another thing that is equally not essential.
Or in short: If you want it and you'll enjoy it, get it!
