If you have the money buy it, all the Wacom product line is good.

I just use an el cheapo that I picked up on ebay for $AU100 and it serves me fine.

Do make sure that you read all the instructions and that you also read some tutorials on the net, as there are some small setup options that you need to be aware of, especially with Photoshop otherwise you will think your pen doesn't work.

Ken:

I have the graphire 4 and LOVE IT. I use it mainly for PSE and lightroom, and it makes working with graphics so much easier. I had a little bit of a learning curve with it but after a few weeks it started to come around.

One thing that was causing me trouble was setting the mouse next to the tablet while using the pen. that caused the tablet to get mixed signals. I put the mouse away for about a week and used nothing but the pen and it worked without error.

I still use the mouse in other text and Data programs. In those cases it was faster for me,. That pen is really sensitive. You will be happy with it.
