Hey, I'm looking at buying an iPad for light use generally, will use it for reading comics via Comixology, general net use and maybe some Hearthstone/Fire Emblem Heroes/Mario Run.

Is the iPad Mini 2 up to the task and likely to remain a decent performer for a few years? I noticed it's only a dual core and has been around for 2-3 years but seems to still be relevant and supported with iOS updates or should I bite the bullet, spend more and get the Mini 4 for the stated use above?
 
Quick update since had a few more posts.
Went for the 4 picked it up at John Lewis a week ago, very happy with it, the screen is a delight and the battery life is actually pretty impressive. Far superior to Android tablets I've used.
Didn't fancy waiting for the rumoured newer Mini as I'm an impatient sort, also didn't cost me anything directly as sold off a load of trade paperbacks/comics to pay for the move to digital.
