Moving from 11" laptop to a 'retina' 10" tablet however is actually an upgrade screen estate wise.

I can see the appeal of multiple big screens, but that has never worked for me. I spend much time on the road, and want to have the same working environment in the coffee shop as I have in the office.

You'd have to have fucking laser vision to be able to use that small of fonts crammed on a 10.1" screen.

Is far easier to zoom in a tablet. I use a 30" LCD for my main setup, but no problem when need to read code in a iPad 2. I simply put large fonts and zoom.

Also, with this pixel density and the desktop stand I can keep the tablet reasonably near my face.

Why is remoting up to the dev machine in you office not an option then ? If the tablet is just used as a dumb terminal then it makes a bit sense. I do that all the time with mu surface.
