When I had a 6x9 Wacom tab, I had it where I'd place my mouse. I used it almost exclusively and almost never used my mouse anymore -- the level of fine-grain control you get with the tablet blows the mouse out of the water.
As far as the awkwardness, yeah, you'll have that at first. I also draw and sketch -- once you learn look at the screen and not think about your hand not being in the location you're making the mark, things will click for you. I can now draw just as well on the screen as I do in a sketch pad. Once you get acclimated to the tablet, I'm pretty sure you'll never go back to using a mouse... If you're an artist, I recommend getting Corel Painter -- the brush, surface and paint effects engines blow away what you get in Photoshop... but there's a learning curve with Painter, too, especially if you've been using Photoshop for years. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
