I think there are a few questions you should ask yourself to find the answers to the standard Wacom / tablet questions.

Brand/features
1. Are you :
---A: an accomplished traditional artist with a very refined touch ?
---B: a beginner/amateur, both in traditional and digital painting/sketching ?

If you answer A you should probably go for the Wacom deal, if B is your answer you you would (read:should) be more than happy with a less expensive (100US$-150US$ depending on size) alternative, to call it a good deal.

Tablet size
2. When you sketch/draw/paint do you :
---A: use your whole arm to draw, and generally draw large drawings (A4 and up) ?
---B: like to draw small, using mostly your wrist for the lines ?

This second question should give you the pretty obvious answer that if you are in the A category, get a big tablet, and if you're in the B category, you would be happy with a smaller one.

... and finally,when in doubt, Always remember that "the tablet question" is one of the most asked questions here, and you'll be able to find a ton of previous advice by using the search feature in the top right of this window. Just enter "tablet" or "Wacom" and search in the discussion forum, and ye shall find. Nobody likes a lazy Digitalist ...

Lol, are you keeping this in a safe place and then paste it when the right time comes up, HawkOne?
Because its a good idea to do so.

If you wanna try a graphic pad for the first time i think the graphire 2 is a good choice cause its not as expensive as the intuos ones and works quite well.

If you are an experienced digital artist choose the intuos2 its more comfortable and has more pressuresensitivity, more pens like the intuos airbrush and so on...


Hope that helps you!
