Wacomb tablet suggestions

[Evan Wiener]

For all you graphic artists/designers and illustrators that have embraced the world of paper-less art, what kind of tablet do you use to work with?

I bought a tiny Graphire 2 Wacomb while in college and found it pretty useful at the time. I haven't used it in a long time and now I'm trying to get back into illustrating and build that side of my design portfolio. I'm finding it hard to draw with the 3x4 Graphire I have and am wondering how much of a step up the Intuos models are.

What do I really need to pull off some decent work and get some professional control?

I don't do a ton of digital stuff, but I do have a new 9x12 Intuos and I really like it. It's very fluid, and feels almost as good as working with traditional pencil and paper.
