I started to buy one a while back as I started graphic designing but after seeing the smaller version which was in my price range at the time I declinded to purchase it.

My question is how many would say its a tool they depend on? I get tired of clicking and stroking with my mouse 18 hours a day and wanted to know if the majority of designers use these.

Also what type of wacom would be recommended for restoration / designing.

Sorry if this made no since as I am tired.

Check out these threads for some great information. You'll find that many swear by their tablets for detail work...

I use the Wacom Platinum Intuos II pad. I also have the air pen, which is great for photo editing.
