Is 4G really necessary on the iPad if you have a hotspot?

I am a web designer, so since I have to show my work when I meet with my clients, I carry with me a Clear hotspot for my Macbook. I also have an iPad 3 wifi + 4G on AT&T's network (2GB plan). I'm trying to figure out if my next iPad will be a wifi only model or wifi + 4G.

I'm thinking since I like my OnStar for navigation and I have an iPhone 5 with unlimited data, I should be ok with a wifi-only iPad, but I'm not sure.Is there something I might miss by skipping the 4G model and getting the wifi only version?

Thanks for any advice!
