iPad or a different brand?

I've just bought the IPad Pro, ( in rose gold colour ?) to replace my 6 year old I pad.
The old one was just as you describe.
This one is slightly smaller in width, much lighter and faster. The big things that made me continue with I pad were; 6 years of trouble free use and the fact that everything on my old one was synced across simply and quickly. Also it's compatible with my other devices.
As for cost, if the new one lasts as long as the old one, then it's not much per year.

My ancient iPad is coming to the end of its life, being very slow, creaky and unresponsive. I've been looking at the Sony tablets which are slim, lightweight and look good. Has anyone made the switch from iPad to Sony, or any other brand?
Most of them are cheaper than iPads, but do they perform as well? I don't want to make a mistake. Advice appreciated please.
