Nexus 9 vs Samsung Tab S 8.4

[8BitHate]

I've been looking to get a nice tablet and I've narrowed it down to two options being either the Nexus 9 or the Tab S.

Obviously I've read a good couple dozen reviews and I really don't know which one to go for?!

The nexus runs stock android which, because I work in a Currys/PC World ( for those who aren't in the UK and don't know who Currys/PC World is, basically it's our equivalent to best buy)I've been able to use the display model that we have and really love stock android! As well as it being a nexus it'll get the updates first which is just amazing for myself. However the aspect ratio and the fact that I've got tiny hands AND the fact that it doesn't have a micro SD slot are major turn offs for me.

The tab s 8.4 however I love the size of it because it fits my hand pretty well as well as the SD slot however the Samsung touchwiz bullocks that is on it is just horrible to me. Ive got a Z3 at the moment and love it's version of android.

I am aware that I can root/rom the Samsung but I don't really know whats on offer in terms of the options and what sort of things I'm able to set it up in such a way that I would get the same sort of experience in terms of Android as a whole as I would with the nexus.

So which one would you guys suggest?

I would still go for the Nexus it's almost superior in almost all ways.

I bet you won't receive an Android update after 6 moinths, Yes iknow you can root it but it's never perfect.

Also Samsung is making it harder and harder for users to root their devices.

Why not the Xperia tablet?

Why not the Xperia tablet?

I don't really want the same thing but just on a bigger screen, I'd rather go for something different altogether.
