I have came across a very serious issue.... My tablet is broken - not literally of course. Pen isn't being located properly and on some places it's just going crazy, jumping around the screen. So I guess that means it's time to buy a new one.... And finally WACOM! (before you ask - I tried to fix this and I guess that's the reason it's now permanently broken .__. )

Yet there is another issue as well. So, my currently broken tablet has an active area of A4 size, which is huge and very comfortable to use. And I don't have to mention that any tablet from WACOM with this size is rather expensive and I don't feel like to pay that much for it....

So there are two options - Intuos Pen (small) or Intuos Pen&Touch (medium) (there is also small Pen&Touch, but I really don't care about those touch capabilities... :r)


Intuos Pen is really cheap - and really small, 1/4 of active area that I'm used to.
Intuos Pen&Touch Medium has a bigger active area and this one seems rather ok, not that much smaller than the one I had on my broken tablet. But it's also more expensive.


So there's a question - if I worked so long on a big active area, will I be able to get used to that small active area - 25% of the current one?
Or should I go with Pen&Touch Medium?
Beside my possible adaptation to smaller active area - is that small (like in Intuos Pen Small) comfortable in drawing?

Or maybe there are other good - and cheaper - tablets than WACOM? (I guess not... xd)

I'm looking forward to reading your opinions! ^.^
