I sold my iPad 1 to my friend when I got the 3, and she's loving it. She's new to apple, having a Samsung netbook that is just so slow. Apart from the camera there is really no difference in everyday use and she now uses the internet quite readily. I know you are not a net novice but the convenience and portability outweigh the cost and £120 is a great price. My iPad 3 has a mobile contract with 3 (who have improved greatly imho) and I get 15gb per month so if it can take a sim their tariff is really generous.
We have played leapfrog with the iPads (can you tell we have no children?) and there is no discernable difference between the 2 and the 3 in everyday use either really.
If you can justify it, go for it.
