Please stop with the personal attacks.

As for pressure sensitivity, every wacom tablet I've ever used had that feature. Back in school we had an older generation of the Intuos pro tablets (were new at the time tho). I also used an old graphire 4 for about 10 years with z-brush (that was the pre-cursor to the bamboo), and the pressure sensitivity on it was just fine. I upgraded to the Intuos Pro pen & touch medium last year cause I wanted more features and a larger work area - it has a lot more pressure sensitivity in it than the graphire had so it took a bit of getting used to it.

The thing I don't like about my Intuos is that after not even that long of using it, you wind up wearing down the paper grain texture of the surface, so it leaves a large shiny spot in the area that your hand rests most of the time that no amount of buffing will get rid of. It doesn't affect the function of the tablet, and the change in texture isn't all that noticeable while working, it just looks crappy, like a big oily spot right there. I don't know if there are protective covers to prevent that. Would be nice, but then defeats the purpose of having a paper grain on the surface.
