Thanks guys! Yea, i dont really want to use it for maya though, i would much prefer to use it for just photoshop. Can i still hook up my digital mouse to it, as the last thing i want is to go back to roll mouse . Please let me know if thats just a optional mouse. So yea, it seems like i will probably buy the graphire2 4x5 then .. unless anyone else has anything to say.. i would love to hear it . BTW, if you do feel that only the intuos series is worth the money, then let me know so i can think about it .
