Would you go with the S2 over the K1 then? I need a good quality screen in the sunlight.

I would go with S2 because it is octa-core, has the bright screen, and I am an Android Samsung lover. (My wife and daughter are the IOS lovers, but they don't fly Phantoms 
) I have not seen a lot of experience based comparisons of the S2 and K1, mostly just opinion.

Ya the S2 currently is $299 many places.. I would say thats a well rounded device. I would say the extra $100 over the shield is worth it.
I have also just tested a ipad mini 4 and it may be a smidgen smoother buy really it's hard to dell the difference it's ever so slightly. Also the ipad mini 4 looks washed out compared. Can't really beat a SuperAmoled display. On top of that you need a $500 cellular version of the mini to get GPS hardware like the S2 has standard.

I purchased my galaxy tab s2 9.7" for the phantom3 after checking the equivalent apple version side by side.
The galaxy has the brightest screen by far. I told the sales guy that I wanted the best for outdoor use and he sold my the galaxy. ( he sold both apple and android devices )
I cannot fault it.

Is it important to have a quality tablet when flying these things, especially when flying it FPV through the camera?
I can hardly see through the camera on my Insignia flex elite. I just bought the Galaxy Tab S2, so I hope I can see better on that screen and a hood.
Yes it is! I can imagine it will be night and day when you get the S2. Report back if you could.

I'll definitely report back, I got with a $50 BB gift card here, so roughly $50 more than the shield. I'm excited to test it out with my Phantom!
Make sure you update to the OJ1 firmware. That is a must! PM me for any help. I'm an android geek.

I should be able to do that, I can flash! would you recommend this Rom though? [ROM][5.1.1][T710][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.1 for Tab S2 8.0 [BETA]
Nope I wouldn't recommend that...
For one stock is fine and for two the following issues exist:
-Microphone doesn't work
-Camera doesn't work
-Minor graphical glitches

I'm happy with my nVidia Shield K1
199
comes with HDMI out, so you don't have to buy the $100 HDMI board for the RC down the road
lots of roms, and stock roms de-bloated with root.. and custom kernels with dd2w and oc. etc

It's a newer firmware for the tablet. OH7 has overheat issues.
There is one newer one but I'm trying to find details on it before I recommend it.

In a pc download and install smartswitch from samsung.
Samsung Smart Switch™: Transfer Contacts, Music and More
When you plug your phone/tablet in it will tell you if you need to update it.
I know that OH1 had some temperature issues.
The only other suggestion I have unfortunately would be if it updates it's always a good idea to factory reset your phone. This makes sure that the software is running optimally. Often times an update will work fine after with out a reset but it's not working as best it could.
Updates are always recommended with lollipop 5.1.1 especially.
