For me the main reason to go from large to smaller is not having to switch anymore. For me, to do regular stuff with a large tablet is very counter productive, so I have to revert back to a mouse or other device. I constantly was switching between the tablet and the mouse.

When the tablet broke down, I started looking for a better solution. I've been considering a trackball or something like it, but then noticed the 2nd generation Bamboo. Looking at the specs I figured this may work well for general stuff as well. A good advantage of the 2nd generation Bamboo is that they're 'wide screen' format, making it very easy to use with my wide screen laptop.

The smaller sized tablet is very usable with regular programs as well, once you get used to it, there's no need to switch to another device anymore. To move around the screen with the mouse, I don't even have to move my arm at all, as with the larger tablets, it's all confined to small wrist and hand movements. Lot less strain then a mouse, a lot less moving around then a large tablet and no need to switch devices.

For me and excellent choice :-)
