$999 for the surface 4 package including keyboard and a better pen gets you a larger screen and twice the performance!

Uh, nope. The benchmarks say differently than your claims. According to the Geek benchmarks run by Redmond Pie:

Back to the subject of speed, tests carried out show that the iPad Pro is faster at performing both single core and multi-core tasks compared to the Surface Pro 4 SKU running a 2.2GHz CPU and costing $899. By comparison, the iPad Pro uses a custom A9X chip running at 2.25GHz and costs a comparatively low $799 at the entry level price point. That chip doesn’t change no matter which iPad Pro you buy, and to get a Surface Pro that can outpace Apple’s new tablet, you’ll need to spend $1299 for the 3GHz model. Both units ship without the keyboard but Surface Pro does ship with stylus while Apple Pencil is available as a separate purchase.

Uh, nope. If you look at YOUR chart, the I5 blows away the iPad. And you cherry-picked the charts.
