I worked out the iPad choices.
Options is a of mix connectivity & size:
iPad Pro (12.9") - 3 Colours x 5 Options (15)
iPad Pro (9.7") - 4 Colours x 6 Options (24)
iPad - 3 Colours x 4 Options (12)
iPad 4 Mini - 3 Colours x 2 Options (6)
That's 57 variants, clearly designed by a bean counter judging by the deliberate storage choices (i.e. no 64gb options across the whole line). 32GB seems totally pointless to me unless you are only using it for email & web browsing. Why is the mini 4 - a device that wouldn't appear to appeal to "power users" only available in 128gb? Why would anyone purchase a 12.9" iPad Pro with 32GB of storage?
The iPad line is all over the place - I had re-write the above as I got confused by what base options are available. What's even more baffling is that they all come with regular USB cables which means I can't plug any of them into my new Macbook Pro.
