I bought a Intutios 3 right after it came out a couple of months ago. My choice was made after consulting different groups with pro graphic artists, (incl. ROS) I also contacted a pro graphic studio that sells all wacoms pens, showed up in there reception and they was very helpfull. That is the reason for my choice. Takes a little time to get use to, but already after the first try, I realised there is things I can do with the pen that I havn't been able to do before.
