I'm using a Wacom Intuos-2, but it's not really very helpful with Finale (Windows).. An advantage is that it is absolute positioning, so you make large arm motions for movement. But Finale doesn't have any tablet-centric features, and the non-standard (for Windows) use of clicks, the poor follow of handles to real positions, the lack of graphical (pen drawing) input, etc., defeat the otherwise great usefulness of the absolute positioning, pressure features, drawing, and right/left/double click of the pen. I do use the tablet's mouse/pen on my right hand as well as a trackball on my left hand. I find the multiple input devices (they all work together) is less stressful on the wrists. I've got to look into voice command again. Haven't used them since the crude days of Voice Mouse (ca. 1994).
