yes, it is worth to reconsider releasing a smaller sized Surface of 8"-10".
Recently I bought a China-branded 9.7" windows tablet with LTE just for USD 200. To my surprise the experience is wonderful. It is now my daily driver for both work and leisure. Despite the smaller screen size I really enjoy so much for the extra portability - now I use this 9.7" tablet even more frequently than my Surface 3. Unfortunately it is a China brand but not made by Microsoft. I really look forward to a similar device with premium quality made by Microsoft.
Microsoft needs to make a cool device at least for demonstrating how good Windows 10 can be for smaller sized screen. And given the recent release of iPadPro 9.7", such a Mini Surface becomes more relevant to compete with Apple.
People today have get used to small mobile devices. Devices with screen larger than 10" are considered less portable.
