Until 09/11/2016, John Lewis is selling all Macs and iPads with a free 3-year guarantee! Definitely worth buying Apple devices here (and early Xmas presents) to take advantage of this, as Apple only covers their Macs and iPads for 1-year with AppleCare.
John Lewis also has free delivery and free click and collect to John Lewis and Waitrose stores across the UK.

Although I've never had issues with any of my past iPads this is a very good deal

Same here, they're very reliable devices, and in my opinion, so much better than other competitors! Unlike the phone industry, there are few good alternatives to Apple's iPads at the moment.

They normally do 2-year guarentees on everything, however occasionally they boost this to 3-year warranties.

I'm sure this is the standard guarantee with JL, I bought my iPad mini 4 off them last year and it also had the 3 year guarantee. A no brainer to get it from them.

The iPad Mini 2 is cheaper and has a bigger battery. It is a bit slower, heavier and thicker than the iPad Mini 4.
I personally bought the iPad Mini 4 16GB model in Gold a few months ago whilst still £319, however now the price gap is more significant, so really it depends upon whether you are willing to spend the extra £140. The iPad Mini 4 also has a better rear camera, faster graphics, twice the RAM, a fingerprint reader and a better Wi-Fi chip.
Both are great devices, it just depends on whether you're happy to pay the additional money for what is, ultimately, an incremental update to the iPad mini 2. Both devices have very similar Retina displays also.

But if you buy from an Apple bricks and mortar store you get 6 years coverage under EU consumer law. I asked about it and they said, as long as you purchase from Apple direct and keep the receipt, they'll just swap it under that policy for you in the event of an issue. It will be easier than potential 'send off and wait for repair' with JL. That EU coverage isn't transferable though. This all came about when I was thinking about buying a 7 in the store, so despite the astronomical pricing it seems a lot less mental with the long coverage.

good luck with 6 years coverage,
anyway apple increased prices so no one is gonna buy from them.

Prob covered elsewhere but if no longer in europe would the 6 years cover still be valid.
