I don't care what you want to call it, but the iPad Air is closer in weight to the iPad Mini than the iPad 4. If people want to dismiss the weight as not being important, that's up to them. I didn't think the iPad 4 having a retina display was anything to even mention, but I would've named that one iPad Lightning.

Please compare:
Macbook Air
<http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-air?product=MD761LL/A&step=config>
and
Macbook Pro
<http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=ME864LL/A&step=config>
and explain how these differences are more deserving of "different models" than the differences between iPad 4 and iPad 5 are.
