Yep, I'm in that window, but availability of the 12 pro is pretty bad and it's not that painful in the grand scheme of life to warrant hunting one down haha. Regret, but not that big of a regret :)
Personally LIDAR on the phone sounds a lot more useful to me than the iPad, and I say that having a 2020 iPad Pro.
Knew I was going to upgrade my SE to a 12 Mini with no LIDAR (based on rumors) so I sprung for the new iPad instead of looking for 2018s on sale. Nice to have one device with LIDAR to play around with, but it's super awkward to wave an iPad around to scan things.
More than anything else, I think it was pushed out as a developer kit to get the hardware in people's hands and apps ready to go before it hit the mass market with the iPhone 12 Pro.
