I was in one of the big retailers (not the apple store) shortly after the retina ipad was released, the display table had a number of the old and new iPads laid out and a crowd of people around comparing models. The sales rep proudly presented the new retina ipad display saying it was a big improvement on the old non retina model, people around the table agreed saying they could really see the difference. When the q subsided I had a look and noticed that the one they all admired was in fact the old model and was comparing it to the new one. The sales rep was very embarrassed and ran off.
This is not an apple versus android comment, there where a range of ages and looked to be different levels of experience in the use of tablets.
I do wonder how much of the professional and non professional comments are based upon specs and not real world experience. I don't know the answer but would be extremely interested to find out how much benefit would be gained from the slightly higher res specs if I have less than perfect eyesight?
