I also had asked this question to myself.
After dubbing for a weekend I decided to buy a "normal" 10.1 edition 2014 in black with only 16GB of internal memory for a good price. For a longer while it was hard to get in The Netherlands and when it was offered on Pixmania.com for only 349 euro's (some ~390 dollars) it was not difficult to choose.
I bought it for the screen resolution, S-Pen and multiple window support. With custom ROM's I can increase the life span of this tablet considerably.
But I want to wait a while before I will root it and install custom ROM on it. I really hope that Samsung will make Lollipop available for it...
First impressions is that it is quite fast...is it the combination of Exynos chipset and GPU? Feedly and Chrome browser are quite smooth, clearly better than the Note 4 (with not upgraded firmware though...)
