A:

No. Set it up as new, Update iOs to 9.2.

Once you are done that, you can reset the new iPad, and follow the Setup prompts again. It will then let you restore your backup normally. No real difference.

Why is it incompatible?

Does the new iPad have an older iOS version the the one used to make the backup?

If so, you'll need to update iOS on the New iPad before restoring the backup.

If restoring from an iTunes or iCloud backup requires a newer version of iOS - Apple Support

Yes. The new iPad has 9.0.2 and I had just updated my old iPad to 9.2. I was trying to download during the initial setup But can't because of the incompatibility.
it won't let me proceed in this way so I think I have to set it up as new in order to update the iOS. But I'm worried that it will complicate or prevent me from linking all my data to the new iPad???
thank you, Karen
