Also, Honeycomb is the ONLY true tablet OS out there. If you haven't had a chance to actually play with... try it out before you make any judgments. It's THAT much better.

The extent of my experience with either the Xoom or the iPad is about 5 minutes with each at Best Buy. I'd be interested in why you believe it's so much better, because I don't feel I have enough experience with either to judge. You've probably already touched on it in an earlier post; if so, I can just go find that.
My family (me, wife and kids) owns 2 EVO's, a 2nd gen Touch, a 4th gen Touch, a HP netbook, a new ThinkPad and 2 desktops. I feel like a I have a feel for both Android and iOS, but the tablet experience is different, especially with Honeycomb. But the Touch is more intuitive for my kids than my EVO, and I'm guessing it would be a similar experience on the tablets.
We don't "need" a tablet pc certainly, but my wife received some money for her b'day and she's set on getting one for the family (learning opps for a son with slight developmental issues, and we've read rave reviews on that front). If it were just me, I'd want Honeycomb for a number of reasons. But with my wife and kids, I think the Apple ecosystem is best and the iPad 2 has upgraded the specs 'enough' that I'm comfortable going that direction.
