I still use my Nexus 7 with LineageOS - daily. It's cost? A hundred sixteen dollars - in 2013. I use it for web browsing, reading and video mostly at 1920x1200 for 7 inches with a battery that still lasts a couple of days of heavy usage - I find it extremely difficult to justify spending over a thousand dollars for something that offers a whole lot of stuff that I don't need. One caveat, if you're largely using your phone for pictures then I can imagine it would be worth the cost for newer tech. I just don't need it.

Maybe Apple's better pricing will give Google the kick in the ass they need to bring back an inexpensive phablet like the Nexus 7.
