i was reluctant for years to get a tablet. i tried them out from time to time and never really caught onto it. it wasn't until last summer that i bought a bamboo tablet and forced myself to learn on it.
there was definitely a learning curve of about a day or so to get used to it. the biggest challenge was pen-to-keyboarding. i would sometimes go back between the mouse and pen or only use the pen when i was in photoshop or illustrator.
i found that the pen was great for bezier curves, brush strokes or just trying to be precise with the marquee.
now i use the pen for everything. surfing the web, itunes, etc. i went back to my mighty mouse a few months ago and hated it.
as for a big tablet vs a smaller tablet, i haven't really seen a difference. i own an intuos and a bamboo. however, i only use 1 monitor. i guess if you're using dual monitors, you should go big. but small is great if you're a macbook pro user and you can just bring your smaller tablet with you everywhere you go. nice and convenient.
so yea, i say definitely get one.
