Is it worth getting another iPad, or is it better to get a less flashy, less well-known product?

Question

My iPad was just stolen while I was sitting in a public park.   I take responsibility for putting it down on the bench, my error.  I always keep it in my backpack when it is not in my hands.  Talking to the police and reading public announcements, I know it is best not to flaunt good electronics.
Since it is only wi-fi and not 3G, I could not track it using Find my iPhone.   I did hit the remote wipe instruction. 
With that in mind,  I was wondering if I should get a non-Apple product that I can use in a park or carry in a subway and not worry about it being so desirable to thieves.  I loved my iPad, but if you can't relax with your tablet and to also use it for reading books or news, it loses some of its value. 
In the same vein, I avoid taking out my iPhone on the subway and on the street.  Maybe it's better to get a Droid which isn't so attractive?
I thought I'd reach out to the true beleivers in the Apple Communities for your insights.
