Is the ecosystem really worth a whopping $250 price difference? You could just about buy 2 Nexus 7's for the price of one Ipad mini.
I've owned a lot of apple products, including Ipads, and it just seems incredibly unreasonable to me, especially given that competing products are now very good and very well reviewed.

This is a very valid point. However, for me I have bought and returned 2 Nexus 7 (both generations). Why? build quality was suspect (the touchscreen was flaky),and the way it UI for web pages was downright weird (hate the zoom feature).
Chalk it up to me just used to apple. I wanted to switch I really did, but in the tablet space a few hundred for something I use daily for 2 years is not a lot.
