Ok, It''s been a while since I''ve hit these threads, so I hope this topic hasn''t been beaten to death before. So I''ve got an original graphire tablet, but my pen bit the dust, and it''s long over due for an upgrade anyways. I don''t use my tablet near enough, partly because I find it too small. I know the intuos has more levels of control, but do you actually notice then when doing your work? I like the thought of the intuos for the optional brushes also. Also, the quick buttons along the top, do they increase productivity very much? I really want to get back into the graphics work, since it is just a hobby, will the intuos be overkill? Or will the graphire3 6x8 frusterate me just as much as the original 4x5 did?
