Check all yer other messages first...that way I can have your undivided attention lol

NEW information: Less than a day later and I've got many comments, thanks a lot for all your opinions however one comment really got me thinking and is steering me towards a decision I didn't even consider before...
~SOULSSHINE showed me some youtube videos of the highest version - "Wacom Cintiq" in action, and also stated that if I'm going to be spending this much money, then why not go all the way and get the best? Of course, it's cost goes far beyond what I was originally intending on getting, however seeing how my own mother owes me a lot of money I lent her ages ago, I think I can still afford it and have some to spare. There's few reasons not to get this one, you can draw directly on the artwork on the screen, and if I'm limited for space, I could probably even sit it on my lap sometimes since it would be just like drawing on paper on a notepad!
Might as well ay? take advantage of the fact I have no house or car, and therefore - no bills to have to worry about at the moment, I don't want this to be the same situation like when I got the cheaper version of "Vue 6" and only months later, wished I bought the higher-level one

(P.S sorry for the journal spammage, I'll try not to journal again until I get the tablet for real )

OLD information (just so the comments from before still make sense to readers)...
Lol, looks like I have yet another question again...the sort of stuff I should post in the forums, but I would probably get a more professional response from some of my watchers

Buying a Wacom Intuos3 tablet has only been on my mind for about a month now, but the urge to get one is to the point where I found myself bidding for one on ebay today (aww, I lost at the last second because my internet lagged ) However I used this misfortune to an advantage, maybe I should be getting a different one to what I was going to get...

I am looking at the "6x8 - A5" sized version, it seems to be an appropriate size; but for those who do have one, would you consider that too small to work comfortably? I was looking at `alexiuss's page earlier today and the one I had my eyes on is the same he uses, and he seems to do fine with that But I wanted to know what you guys have and what would be the best one to go with (remember that I'm not made of money, I probably won't spend more than $600 Australian, hence why I'm searching ebay first )

Long story short, is it a classic case of "bigger is better"? I can't see myself needing something too huge. I now have my eyes turned to the "9x12 - A4" version...unless you reckon the smaller one will be enough, since the A4 size is a little beyond my range...even on ebay

Thanks for your thoughts in adavnce
