Or a Nexus 9 for £190!!!!
The reviews are a bit meh
I personally don't regret getting the 9.7" S2. Thin, light, bright and smooth with no lagging and responsive touch. Don't know how they made it so light really. Standby is good on mine dropping often only 1 or 2 percent overnight. Previous tablets have been an original Nexus 7 and a Hudl2 and the tab S2 blows them both out the water. Cost quite a bit more than both those so it should be better 
Yeah, I'm very tempted for the 9.7" S2 - felt amazingly light in the store!
As stated in my OP though, 70% of the use will be streaming media from my NAS and so I'm not entirely convinced with the 4:3 aspect ratio! (and on the other hand I don't think I want to go for the 8" version because it's not enough of an "upgrade" from my LG G-Pad 8.3" tab!)
Quite tempted though as £299 - especially with 10% Quidco cashback on offer too! (does anyone know if you have to purchase online to qualify for Quidco or can I still reserve online and collect in store and still get the cashback??)

They were £150 at argos a week ago though, so I'm sure they'll reduce again soon.
If you can handle having your eyeballs scraped everytime touchwiz pops up of course.
It does tickle me when people moan about the stock launcher/skin for each manufacturer being "unbearable" in one way or another - for me, the best thing about Android is that you can literally change the look of the phone/tablet to what ever you want with the dozens of free launchers out there!
I rarely stick with the device's own launcher!
Really leaning towards the 9.7" S2 tab - it looks the business in the shop!
Does anyone know how it outputs a video signal? (Assuming it does!)

Tab S is actually better than the Tab S2 it's remarkable how Samsung messed that one up.
Except the launcher doesn't change everything. SystemUI is still TW.
Fair enough but other that slowing down the progression to the next OS, what major difference does the underlying UI make other than visuals? (Serious question - I can't think of much that bothers me, even if I hate the default skin!)
Nexus 9 discounted on Google store at minute 16gb version £199 for those that are interested, my daughter has one and at that price it's a decent tablet and plenty powerful enough for most peoples needs. Personally I am not a massive fan of the aspect ratio as I like to watch media on mine and don't like the large black bars top and bottom, but for general usage it's a nice tablet.
Bloated Samsung services running in the background.
TW doesn't bother me so much on a tablet but I would deffo don't want it on my phone.
