Going from note 10.1 to the Note 8

I am in the market for a galaxy note now, and that S-pen is a must thanks to digital art, but would I be better off with the 10.1 or this 8? Screen real estate is important, but there's only about 1.9" Difference. My huge issue is the price, where I live the galaxy note 10.1 is only $50 more than the 8 inch model, and as far as I can tell they run exactly the same (even though the 8 inch appears to be about 200Mhz faster) so for the price should I just get the 10.1?
 
I had both 10.1 and 8 got bored and sold them dont know what was i thinking .. Going to buy one today and no doubt it is hard to decide which one to buy coz they both have advantages. Guess il go with the 10.1 since the speakers are loud and definitely watching youtube on a bigger screen is more fun plus the multi tasking where you can open several windows and not just side by side .. Note 8 is portable light and sleek also gets the job done but i (personally) certainly didnt enjoy the back button (landscape mode you will hit the back button un knowingly)
Choices are made 50% logical and 50% emotional .. Buy what you like we all have diff likings ;)
