You should try the Apple Pencil. Reviews, comparisons and anecdotes put it considerably ahead of the Surface in accuracy, latency, parallax, pressure sensitivity and tilt detection:
Surface Pro 4: Fails on the lowest pressure. No tilt detection at all? No wide color gamut. Bulkier device and potentially noisy/clogged fans?
I also remember seeing/reading that the Surface Studio screen "ripples" under strong pressure.

On the iPad, in some apps like Procreate, you can even control effects like the direction of motion blur by tilting the Apple Pencil around (rotating its back end in the air) while keeping the nib on a focal point.
You could also use the iPad + Pencil as a drawing tablet for native Mac or Windows apps:

P.S. Wait till Apple's March event if you're planning to get a new tablet.
