Yep, I'd have to call any enhancement in control for pushing points around pretty much imaginary. The Cintiq does have the advantage of letting you put your face close to your work, but moving your damn monitor or finally getting a decent pair of glasses would also accomplish that. The tablet is a little twitchier for navigating interfaces, but I'm probably just not used to it anymore. I think I wouldn't lose any sleep if I had to use a tablet. And would certainly rank a 3D mouse higher on my sculpting tool wish list.

Correction: The weight of a 24hd when taken off it's stand (props to Wacom customer support for suggesting you do that thing) is closer to 30 pounds. Which means that two adults and a toddler can get the job of taking it to UPS done. The toddler is there to add spice, danger, and challenge on a busy street for the idiot adults as well as take ALL the cards out of the display racks while the so-called adults are conducting their business. Logistics, pffft.
