Many thanks - all appears to be working fine with Marshmallow.
Also would concur that SD works well with the new Nexus 7 which does have a very good bright screen.

I've been very pleased with my Nexus. It has lived up to all my expectations of it. If you do go ahead an buy a Nexus, it probably won't have Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) installed initially, but with a few days, you will be automatically prompted to upgrade.

yes, a 2013 Nexus 7 will automatically prompt you to upgrade to Marshmallow
I find SkyDemon works very well on Nexus 7, and personally I find it a preferable size for wearing as a knee board than the iPad 
I've run SkyDemon on a Nexus 7 for around 2 years, and other than a few wobbles when Lollipop first came out, all's been good
remember, unlike some devices, Nexus 7 has built in GPS, so no messing around trying to attach an external GPS either.
 

excuse my lack of knowledge but i'm thinking of getting a nexus 7. do you automatically upgrade to marshmallow ? also does skydemon work well on nexus as i don't particularly want to spend out on an ipad as i just want a tablet for skydemon. thanks

Marshmallow on a Nexus 7 (2013) with SkyDemon beta works fine for me.

Biggest advantage of Marshmallow for me is a massive improvement in battery life - I'm not sure whether Lollipop had become corrupted in some way, but I was regularly seeing "system" processes account for 10+% of battery usage. Now they're below 1% again. 

It may be just my perception, but apps seem to run a bit faster, and one app in particular that had stability issues, now appears more stable. Some minor tweaks to the GUI.

Any worthwhile advantages noted with Marshmallow?

No problem with SkyDemon with Marshmallow on the Nexus 9 here...

I've also upgraded a Nexus 7 2013 to Marshmallow and everything runs absolutely fine (both last stable and beta).

I've just upgraded, and although I've not yet the chance to try out SD in flight, an hour's simulation hasn't thrown up any problems so far.
