Here is my justification. I have 2 android devices and a kindle (I know that is android, but it does things the normal android device can't do, and vice-versa). But there are two apps which are only available on Ois. Once is an automatic download of the Chicago Trib, and the other is an app that reads a knitting pattern to me. Seems a lot of $$ for two apps.
Should I buy a new mini, or go to ebay and buy an older, bigger model? Anyone who is an android afficiano and bought an ipad for their app store and either regrets it or thinks it is their best purchase ever? Or is this just a really weak justification?

I use to own an iPod Touch and had lots of apps from the App Store. I now have an Android phone and an Android tablet. There were a couple of apps where I couldn't find the actual app or a suitable substitute in the Play Store. I loved those two apps but I don't really think buying an iPad Mini (old or Retina model) is worth it. One app was free as part of Starbucks App of the Week program and the other was only $2.99. Plus, those apps weren't necessary.
I guess you have to ask if you really need those two apps and if the iPad mini is worth it? I get the sense from your OP that the answer is no. If you really just want an iPad mini because you want one and you have the money to splurge, then you could just buy one. I mean how many of us need our tablets or e-readers? I certainly don't need my tablet but I love it just the same.
