Need an inexpensive iPad for trade show

I see the price of a new iPad with 256GB of flash memory is at least $1,100!

I do not need 256GB, and really need a low-cost machine that has a 12.9" display.

If I am planning to show videos and display images, can I do just as well with this machine?

What might I lose if I bough this cheaper one?

How would the audio be on this cheaper machine, versus one like this very expensive one?

How about performance?

Even though I have lots of images to show, it's not like it's art, where fancy new image hardware would make a big difference.

I might add, many videos which I plan to show will be on my server. So, for now, I can handle a smaller memory foot print.


Thanks

Not a bad idea, but I do not like the Android user experience AND, as a MacBook Pro and iPhone user, I need to consider compatibility of apps, etc.

What do I gain mechanically buying an expensive iPad over one that is used, and the technology is bit dated?

Would the speakers, for example, be louder? That's important for a trade show. Also, what about battery life?

Windows was a great idea. Plus, they have built-in stands, to make it easy for an impromtu presentation. Thanks
