There aren't many premium Android tablets worth your money, but Sony has some solid hardware and the software isn't bad either. You don't even have to settle for one of those clunky 10.1-inch monsters. The Z3 Tablet Compact is an 8-inch tablet with great specs, and the price is getting pretty attractive at Amazon ($430 from about $500).
In case you're unaware, the Z3 Tablet Compact has an 8-inch 1920x1200 LCD, 4500mAh battery, Snapdragon 801, and 2GB of RAM.
