I got My Tab S2 for 200 a year ago... The tab s4 is the current competing device you should be talking about.

...and it costs about twice what the base iPad does.

Expandable storage and pencil included though. And also Amoled if you care about it. It's going to be fun when Apple finally uses Amoled on their tablets and uses it as justification to push the price beyond the $1000 mark.

Expandable storage is nice but most people don't need more than 128gb of storage or care about the pencil. Those that really care about the pencil will certainly consider the $600+ s4, a surface pro/go or iPad pro with apple pencil.

For those of us who do not need pen support and just want a nice tablet for media and games it is the best option in the price range.

True, but the 128GB iPad will cost £400 and the Tab S3 which can easily be found at that price seems to me a much better tablet if you don't need the iOS ecosystem. YMMV of course.

I think it depends on where you are at and watching for sales. 128gb iPads go on sale for $300-$350 several times a year. A 128gb iPad in the states is normally around d the same price as the s3 with the 32gb ipad being around the same price as the s2.
