I think your best bet would be to look for a used Surface Pro 3 or 4, or a used iPad Pro 12.9, from Swappa or eBay. You should be able to find one in very good condition at a savings over a new one. Another option is to buy a refurbished iPad Pro from Apple (usually 15% discount, but the full new warranty). It's possible to get a device in almost-new condition at a less-than-new price. If you'd rather go for a new one, then be ready to spend the bucks.

As far as whether you should choose the Surface Pro or the iPad Pro, that depends on any other uses you may want from it. But for the uses you've outlined, either one will serve you well.

Both my iPad Pro 9.7 and my MacBook Pro were bought refurbished. I'd swear they were both new. Both have served me very well.
