Pen Tablets... I want one, or do I?

General
So I've been kinda getting into different things recently, and I thought about getting a pen tablet from Wacom. I figure if I get a pen tablet, that might help me with precise photo edits, as it's obviously easier to use a pen over a mouse when working with photos. It also might bring out my secret artistic side and I could work on improving my drawing skills and such. I also really want to practice on digital coloring of drawings and such, and it's just not practical with a mouse!
So here is my little dilemma... I want a large tablet, as in the new Wacom Intuos4 Large pen tablet. Right off the Wacom site they sell it for $469 USD, unfortunately their online store is for US only. I was looking up Canadian resellers for that large tablet, and I'm seeing a fairly steady price of $699, no matter where I look. I also looked on the US online store at B&H, they have it for an astonishing $419, cheaper than wacom.com! The only thing I'm not sure about is warranty coverage outside US borders. But if anything I will go with B&H. They say on the wacom site that it's 2 years coverage in US and Canada... and since they don't give me an option to be Canadian on their site, I'm assuming it's covered from other US resellers. >.>
