With the new Nexus lineup being ready to be announced, I would wait and see if the rumor of a Nexus 8 is true. Otherwise, and what makes me feel the rumor could be true, the Nexus 9 has had quite a few deep discounts lately. While the 9 had some issues after release, the subsequent Android updates seem to have squashed many of the issues. Most review sites now call it one of the better tablets on the market if they reviewed it again after the original release.
Personally I have a Dell Venue 8 7840. It is a very solid build. Unfortunately the 5.1 update has brought some big issues for me. Random system restarts, apps crashing due to memory running out, GPS doesn't work with all apps. With 5.0, it was a really strong tablet. 5.1, not so much.
The Acer "gaming" tablet is one that interests me, but may not be for everyone.
