Should I get the 4x6 or the 6x11?
What are your personal experiences? I'm not a pro artist, but I like to tinker and can't help but think that if I really like it, I'll wish I had gotten the larger one.
The Intuos3 is nice because of the programmable buttons on the side, which you won't get with any other Wacom line. For the size, it's preference. I have a 9"x12" and a 6"x8", and personally the 9"x12" is too large. However, a friend of mine prefers the larger format -- it all depends on your style.
If you're a student or teacher, you can get the educational price on Wacom tablets from creationengine.com.
I use the 6x8 for my 24" LCD without any problems. I was looking at the 6x11, but I did not want to move my wrist when I use it in photoshop. So I feel 6x8 is/was the perfect size. Very well worth it if you use photoshop a lot.
question: anyone know where I can get a vertical/near vertical stand for my new 6x11? Something I can use to set it upright next to my monitor would be wonderful.
