I bought both. I fly a 172 and the mini is great for that cramped cockpit. I just wish the clipboard could just flap over the iPad screen to write notes (like the bigger model). The sliding clipboard doesn’t really work in those small cockpits. Not enough room to work in an forward or aft manner. Additionally, I added a Velcro clip belt. I can clip the knee pad to my belt and it stops lateral and forward motion on my leg.
