It also is more comfortable carrying around in pants pockets (smaller and lighter). It is however easier to deal with documents and web pages on the Nexus due to the extra screen real estate. No free lunch.

Yeah, big screen in small package ...that's the goal.
seasonality and geography have impact on optimal size. That is, up north here, in the fall and winter, I throw even my 10.6" surface pro tablet into a jacket pocket. OTOH, When I travel to Hawaii, it's staying in the car or house. Warm climates mean small pockets - if any - which means small device is optimal.
