I like your reasoning I am now thinking you might be right 8+1 makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Do you use your iPad(s) solely for PT?
Would you rather the S3 or a Dock and an S1?
Because they are practically the same price...

Central! I got the Dock before I got the S3, and I got really good at the Channel/Insert/Plug-In workflow, quickly going into Preview, tweaking and then Punch Preview. Once I got the S3, I loved the faders, the soft keys and channel strip, but honestly, tweaking plug-ins on the top row with channel control is not as good as the Dock. And the Preview button isn't labeled! So if the choice is Dock+S1 or S3, it really depends how you work. I would probably choose Dock+S1 because of my own workflow. Obviously, Dock+S3 is best, but pricier.
If I leave the studio for more than a day or two, I sometimes take the iPad with me for regular use (email, reading, etc.). When the iPad is docked, I turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and run the Lightning>USB adapter>Ethernet adapter to the computer.
