If you decide to buy a different manufacture than Wacom, be sure to know the return policy where you purchase it.  LOL  I went through 2 different tab's from a company called EWorks I think? and took them both back.  They did save money but I was so frustrated trying to make the do what I wanted that I it almost made me stop trying to create patterns.  Wacom is definitely the leader in the industry that everyone else is trying to be like ... but not doing so well.

 

I see where PCMall has some refurb's for ridiculous cheap ... full warranty, like new with all the software.  A 6 X 8 for $75!!  4 X 5 for $40 ... wish I'd have seen that when I was buying.
