As per a recent email, mine is used so much it's worn out. I have a
Graphire 2.
I find it much more precise than using any other method for selections,
paths, spotting, airbrushing and so on. The Graphire 2 is 5x4, which is
adequate, but something a little bigger would be better. I do have a
Trust 6x8 (unused) which I inherited from my late father-in-law, and a
12x9 Medion which was cheap at Aldi. The Medion is a bit big, but useful
for relaxed work when sitting upright at the desk for ages doing
spotting or repair would be too much.
On occasion I also use it instead of the mouse, if I happen to have it
in my hand. Good thing about the Wacoms is that they don't require
batteries and are probably better quality.
Of course, a man of your sensibilities will have to pay close attention
to the ergonomics of the pen, so an Intuos may be more your style...
