The down side, like you said, is travel. When I travel, I have to bring a laptop (borrowed from my old company) and iPad as a drawing device hooked to the laptop. The travel setup is bulky, but I can't get around it. iPad Pro alone doesn't do it for finishing.

Switching from Intuos to Cintiq is a breeze, btw. I've used a tablet for 10+ years. There was an initial weirdness of the mouse-pointer offset (it is slightly different from an iPad, where I don't see the pointer), but your brain quickly adjusts. Highly recommend. :-)

Thanks, Maple! Yes, agreed - I can't use the iPad Pro for finishing art. Using it for sketches is fine, though.
