[vet-mm] Graphics Tablets v2

I have a Graphire4 that's 6x8 and love it dearly.  The Intuos3 is out of
my price range, unfortunately, but I admire them from afar.
 
I bought mine from citysoftware.com.au (who are good, so long as an item
is in stock).  If you're after a noname one, try a computer swap meet -
I saw a 6 by 8 one for $100 there.

They all seem pretty competitive - I used Computers Now, an Apple store
here in Geelong. The same model works on Mac or PC.
Believe it or not, a guy I work with picked up a no-name tablet at Aldi
(yes, Aldi) for $70 and he's pleased as Punch.
 
With the Wacom you can go for a 4x5 or a 9x11 size from memory - it
depends how you work but I'd go for the bigger one if you can afford it.
It's the same principle as clearing a bit of room on the desk to use the
mouse; you don't want to be bumping into the edges.

Thanks for the feedback Rob.  Could you recommend a vendor for these?

A Cintiq runs into 1000's of $ - that's the one that is effectively a
monitor you draw on - I've used one and its great, but the cost.
I use a Wacom tablet and purchased another this year for my son - I
recommend these - excellent quality at a reasonable price.
Prices vary depending on size and model - can't remember exactly what I
paid - I think it was about $128 on special educational pricing - that
was a shop special too.

Reposted
 
Can anyone recommend a good quality graphics tablet?  
I've heard that there are new ones that display the image on the board
itself.
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
