Edit: Prepare for tears, y'all. This is going to be a mess.
Friendly advice: If you're interested in any of these tablets…just go buy them outright without the hoops & games. Samsung either has so much customer volume that they don't care about the complaints or they just flat-out don't care about their individual customers. Based on the many deals prior this year: a small percentage may score this, but there are a lot of variables working against you (1.They Cancel your initial order / 2. cancel your trade-in from a litany of arbitrary reasons and bill you the $350 TIV / 3. make you wait over the tight 2-week return window to verify/appraise your trade-in…just to name a few) and their call centres are HORRENDOUSLY DIFFICULT and time-intensive to deal with when there are issues. People have even had their money in limbo for weeks to months (without using CC chargeback) in hopes of getting their orders fulfilled amidst weeks of shipping delay after delay after delay…

Note: they mention they can even remotely disable your device (!!!) if they feel you haven't kept up your end of the deal with a proper trade-in.

Does anybody have any thoughts or experiences as to the pros and cons of each of these models?
Thanks,
Thanks.
For those who went through the last Samsung fiasco, how long was it before the cancellations?
So you are good!

Not giving you full trade for your good device as advertised it will almost fall under "bait and switch" which is illegal.
Also they probably have circuit breakers in case there are tons of orders in a short time, any good reputable company has those safeguards... So this was probably intentional anyway.
EDIT: Just to add some additional Samsung trade-in history, last year Samsung had a similar "too-good-to-be-true" deal on an A71 5G phone. Traded in an old iPhone 5 and got the A71 5G plus a bunch of accessories for $68. I traded in my iPhone and I have to say their trade-in experience was better than any other.
Constant email updates at every turn, letting me know what was going on. In the end (which was all of less than a week) I got my trade-in value and was very happy. I don't expect this time will be any different.

In this case, it's been nearly 24 hours sine the trade-in values were changed, and no mass cancellations yet. Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow, the first "business" day. They may be waiting on the execs and pencil pushers to decide how to proceed.
