You're conflating a lot of things here. * Astropad does have pressure sensitivity via the supported pens. * Astropad does provide a visible screen like a cintiq at a much lower cost. How can you clame it "doesn't come close to a desicated graphics tablet" when you obviously haven't tried it in the preferred setup of iPad + pressure sensitive pen? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying ita speculation at this point.
