You don't need an expensive iPad for that kind of thing. I bought an Amazon Fire HD 10 for $149 a few months ago mostly to use as a chart reader on gigs. There are several good ones for Android, I use Fakebook Pro that cost a whopping $3 along with iRealPro. Works great. When people say iPads have many more music apps than Android the question to ask is what kind of music apps are they talking about? Yes, Apple has many more synth and DAW apps plus controller apps for digital mixing boards and things like that but as far as your needs Notes, you don't care about that stuff. You have all your sounds and performance related stuff covered with your hardware. That leaves the basic tablet functions that makes IOS and Android equal.
