I looked at the Bamboo first, because of the price. However, the reviews suggested that, for a hardcore Photoshop user, the precision of the Intuos and the almost doubled sensitivity levels was preferable. The screen was about the same size, and there were extra features on the Intuos, for only 50 bucks more for the factory reconditioned model.

My problem is, I dream of the high end Wacom where the tablet is actually a screen and you work right on the image. But that's what, like $1000+ I have about 200 a month I can spend on stuff like this. It usually goes on books and movies and such. I got new cutting boards this month, woohoo lol. Next month is my Bday though, so I'm splurging there. But October is saved for the tablet and the external HD.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
