iPad weight

So, I was looking at the weight of the various iPad models the other day.
I guess the short version is that I really enjoy having an iPad below or next to my Mac when I work, because it is nice to have some reference documentation there or to look in a todo manager without changing focus.
The weird thing is that it is heavy enough that I notice the difference. My iPad Pro 13 with Celluar I 685 grams, and if I got the same just the newest model it would be 582 grams, or 444 grams if I went down to the 11 inch without Celluar or 293 grams for the iPad Mini. Hopefully the next generation mini would be even lighter. All the other models are the same weight ish or heavier than my current iPad
I think that weight wise the 11 or Mini are the only ones that would have enough of a difference to matter, the mini is the most likely because I’m going to get one for other reasons. But the 11 would be the better option for this use case.
