Most of your positives are the result of a third party app developer, rather than the device itself. Switch out the ecosystems app selection and you'd be singing MS's praises to the high heavens, rather than Apple's. That's a perfect example of the old joke, "there's an app for that." When you say, for example that you love the twitter and facebook iOS apps much better than Microsoft's - it's easy to see why - Microsoft doesnt have one yet. There are alternatives, but probably aren't as good as the ipad counterpart.
The most telling part of your post is in reference to the lack of office on the iPad - not a big deal though - you'll simply do office work on your desktop. That argument irks me because it seems that any short fall by RT or WP is a deal breaker, but the same case on the iPad and you can live with the work around with a shrug of the shoulders. It is what it is, iPads seem to be more creative in nature.
In any event, enjoy your tablet. It sounds like you made a good choice. And good luck with the iPhone as well.
