    There are a few tasks where a mouse makes more sense. I use both. Tablet is vital for pressure sensitivity and ergonomic precision, but a mouse can get you pretty far on a map, if not all the way... you don't NEED pressure if you're doing texture sandwiches and using stamp brushes. Only if you're painting or drawing your own unique elements. Assembly, such as putting text on, I always do with the mouse.

    I moved up from a Wacom Graphire 4, to an Intuos 3, to a Cintiq 13HD, finally to a 24 inch CintiqHD that is essentially a permanent fixture and takes up all the space my former multiple monitors might have filled. There are a few models newer, there's the One, the Pro, and the Companion / MobileWorkstation... they are steeply priced but quite interesting... I got mine from someone moving on to a Mobile Workstation, used for cheap because he wanted to assist another freelance graphic designer's path. I appreciate it, strange graphic designer who sold me my 24 inch tablet!
