(mods, if you think this should be in a different thread, feel free of course! Didn't find a "comparison" thread)

Trying to decided between the current wifi-only iPad 2 for $499 or the refurbed wifi only original iPad at $349 (the latter from Apple, so comes with a warranty).

For those who have used both, what are the most important differences?

One review I read said that for his purposes, despite the fact of the 2's much speedier processor, he'd always found his original iPad plenty speedy for what he did.

My use would fall on the relatively light side I think: browsing (usually half a dozen tabs open), email, the very occasional movie, book reading either through the Kindle app or Bluefire app for library books.

Plus the usual FF obsessive apps for UA, Hilton, TripAdvisor, yadda yadda.

Thanks!
