When I draw in rl, I use broad strokes, and at times even though I got the midle size, my tablet is too small, and I have to restrict arm movement.

I think if you are not already an artist, its easy to adapt to the smaller sizes, but I can compare my work from the larger tablet and from the smaller one, and see a world of difference.

Tablets also do eat a lot of processing time/system resources, but I see them as a investment for quite a few years, so I didn't mind spending a little more, and getting a larger tablet.

Another issue is desk space.

Wacom's been the ONLY way to go for quite some years now.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
