Yes, I'm assuming those are dimensions in inches? Although looking at mine, the tablet itself is about 10 inches by 14 inches and the 'active' area 6 inches by 9 inches.

The extra nibs will be nice, as the softer ones do wear. (The graphire does NOT have replaceable nibs, AFAIK)
Consider also that you will use this as a mouse pad as well, using the 5 button mouse on it, so it will park in that location of your desk space.
My graphire is a nice size that fits in my backpack on top of my notebook, so that might be a consideration.

Very good! Yes, portability is definitely a consideration, and the one I'm getting has dimensions that will fit in my laptop bag perfectly so I think I'm good to go.
Now I'm just stoked as all get out and can't wait to get my check next week. I might just buy it this weekend and pay off the credit card with the bonus check... yup... that's what I'm going to do. I so can't wait to start playing with it.
Thanks to everyone who helped me make the decision even easier and focus on what I really needed. I appreciate the help.
I've just noticed that the mouse has 5 buttons! I don't use the wacom mouse at all, I find it a bit slow.
Hm... Part of the reason I really liked the idea of getting that mouse was because it is integrated, but I don't like slow. Is it battery free as well? I thought that was a feature of both the pen and the mouse that Wacom puts out which is another huge reason why I like that mouse. I'll definitely give you guys a review of the hardware once it arrives in my hot little hands.
I'm not sure what he means by slow...I find it as responsive as the pen.
I just set the mouse to "mouse" mode though, so it tracks like a mouse, rather than mapping each tablet coordinate to a screen coordinate (which is how "pen" mode works).
