It's an inexpensive choice and it does everything that the new iPads do. You don't get it, it has the same exact operating system.

Consider, however, that at this point, Apple's profit on an iPad 2 is probably larger than on a new model..Would be, if anyone buys it. If its only purpose is to make the new models more attractive, it's a curious sort of marketing. What other merchandiser does that? Auto showrooms don't have two-year-old models taking up floor space just to make the current model look better.
