Note 10.1 or Note 8?

So, working upto buying a new tablet, to replace my iPad 2 and really keen on these with the S Pen facility.
Has anyone here used both of these?
From what I have read the 10.1 still seems to have more features for S Pen and multitasking?
Tempted by the slightly smaller 8 though which seems to be a decent size compromise where the 7" tablets feel a bit small.
Can see me using it at work more than the 10.1 but maybe not as good for reading etc? I have a lot of digital magazines.

Tbh I doubt there will be much difference reading wise except for the ease of holding the 8, stuff will look sharper on the 8 inch screen.

IF you don't watch a lot of video and want to do note stuff mainly I would probably recommend the 8 inch its going to be easier to use for what you want I think.

I love 10 inch tablets but most of them are a bit weighty and I only love them because I watch a lot of movies and video.

I've got the Note 10.1 and I gotta say... make sure you're actually going to use the S-Pen function. I've only used it properly once, to sketch out some site wireframes... the rest of the time it just feels like a gimmick tbh
