Martin, I have a 6x8 tablet. I just didn't have the desk space to go to a 9x12. I think 6x8 is a bit cramped when using the mouse. I stopped doing that because I write left-handed but mouse right-handed. It was a hassle swapping the tablet from one side of the keyboard to the other. My solution was to add the Logitech cordless optical mouse. Works great with the tablet, which now is always to the left while the mouse is always to the right.

Seems to be a pretty good consensus that they are a wonderful tool and that the Wacom Intuos 2 is the one to buy. The Cintiq looks very nice but a tad out of my range at the moment. The 9x12 sounds large and the 4x5 a little small so the 6x8 might be a good compromise for me. I gather a tablet runs in parallel with a mouse allowing you to switch back and forth as desired. Could I keep my faithful Logitech mouse or do you have to use the mouse that comes with the tablet? How is the learning curve in switching to a tablet?
