Trading in my iPad Pro for a lesser model?

I've got an iPad Pro 12.9" 128gb which I've had since December 2015. I think it cost me around the £950 mark. I also have the keyboard which I believe was another £150, so quite an expensive piece of kit for a tablet.

My issue is that I'm getting a bit fed up with the bloody size of it! At first I was attracted to the larger screen, as the year previous I'd bought an iPhone 6 Plus (which I still have) that I absolutely love, so figured that a bigger iPad was the way forward too. Not so. It's heavy, particularly with the keyboard attached, and I find I don't use it for anything other than sending emails, watching films and a bit of writing here and there. So the additional features that the Pro offers are pretty useless for me day to day.

My MIL has offered me £500 for it, so I could sell it to her and go and buy the latest standard iPad (not a Pro version) for just over £400, but I just hate the idea of 'trading down', even though I have no real reason to need a Pro iPad! Should I keep hold of the Pro, or cut my losses and accept that a standard iPad is good enough for what I need it for?!
