Someone pointed out to me that if I didn't do large gestural drawing a 4x6 would do me fine and save me a lot of money. They were right. I've never missed a larger one. What I'm envious of is tilt. My Bamboo Fun doesn't have tilt, and gimp is able to respond to tilt. It would make some things more expressive, imagine tilting your brush and laying more of it on a canvas then straightening it up during a stroke for example.
Touch could be cool. Touch is where you don't need the stylus, but (I am imagining since I don't have it) the precision is less. Imagine reaching out to a canvas with your finger and smudging something. That would be cool. You didn't say what kind of system you use. New Wacom tablets are supported right away on Mac and Windows, but lag a little bit (could be a few days to a few months depending) on Linux. Any other questions feel free to ask.
