Lol, that's some proper post necromancy right there!

All my initial concerns were invalidated other than perhaps the expense. I would love to get a Cintiq, to streamline some of the input from time to time, but honestly I'm so use to using it indirectly that it isn't a big deal for me.
After that many years of using it, I'd imagine you are so used to it that a Cintiq would almost take more effort to learn, having to overcome such a long time of muscle memory

Don't get me wrong, I love my Cintiq and wouldn't trade it for anything, but I'm also one of those people who tried a Bamboo for less than a year before completely giving up on it. My brain just couldn't crack it. My body's coordination is a joke. Not even a dumb and fun kind of joke, just a bad and pathetic kind.
