Considering buying an iPad Mini...need some feedback

Hi everyone. I need some feedback/opinions. I am considering selling my iPad 3 to get an iPad mini. The reasoning behind this is that I have a Sprint iPhone 5 and the data speeds on it arent the greatest. If I were to sell my iPad 3 I would have enough money to get an iPad Mini in the cellular version on a better network (like Verizon) for faster browsing speeds on the go and it would be more portable than the regular size iPad. Any thoughts?

I can only relate to you that I have an iPad 3 Verizon 4G model and the download speeds are amazing. However, I live in the Dallas Fort Worth Metro area where cell towers are everywhere. It won't matter if you have an iPad Mini 4G model with Verizon or AT&T for that matter, if you live outside of coverage areas the download speeds will be slow.
