Well...it's all a matter of personal opinion

A large one does give you plenty of space to draw, but it will cut down on your actual workspace to draw on, seeing as you have to store it.

That is an excellent point... I wont exactly have a big studio space and I will probably be using the same desk/surface to use traditional media. I don't see myself having the space for both a huge tablet AND all of my real-media stuffs.

Wacom Intuos3 6x8 is industry-standard/preferred for a reason.

Intuos3 pen and surface is also better than the others', IMO.

Ahh.. I'm really starting to lean toward the 3, then. The pen is an important thing to me, especially since the one that came with my older graphire fell apart so fast.

I've used a 6x8 original Intuos and it's pretty big for how I draw (tablet in lap, smaller strokes). The really big ones I find overwhelming...do you draw with paper spread out before you, or hold the pad in your lap?

I also hate the clickybuttons on the Intuos3 (I got a 2 half for that reason, though I will warn the button strip's a bit of a pain to hit), but the nicer pen might be a draw if you care more about that. In my experience the 2's pen > the original's, but I haven't personally used a 3 to judge that one.

I draw with the paper spread out in front of me, and more recently, standing on an easel/sitting with it propped up on my desk easel, but when I used to take my tablet to school with me to draw in between classes I really had no choice but to hold it in my lap.
