Another word of warning about the Wacom Tablets is unless you are doing CAD, do not bother with the large tablets. Eg. intuos3 12x12, intuos3 12x19.
I forget the reason why, but I have been told by Wacom themselves that those too sizes are no suitable for people that doing photoshop.

The other word of warning when it comes down to Wacom. Buy the product locally. In a effort to reduce parralle importing, Wacom will only honor warranties for products that were imported via offical channels. So if you find some thing cheap on eBay USA, don't be a surpised if Wacom tells you to take your product back to Wacom USA as appose to their own local office.
Thanks, i'd only get the Intuos4 from a proper retailer or the WacomEU store.

I think i'll stay with the 4 though, while the Intuos3 is nice, reading up it seems to a have a few niggles and problems that are resolved in the Intuos4, plus an extra 1024sensitivity levels can't do any harm
