    If you get a year's solid use out of that setup, you'd have to consider £90 a pretty small investment.

    It all depends on who made it. Bob's Christmas Cracker Drawing Pads, for example, I'd pass on, but Logitech an up, it can't be all that bad.

    Yeah who makes it? Wacoms are considered to be the best for price... my wacom was £89 and is still going strong almost 2 years down the line

    I've seen that one in the stores... Aitech or Aiptech or something...

    it's ok. but the Wacom tablets are sturdier built.

    Seeing as you are in UK, did you consider in going to Maplin Eletronics? I remember seeing a cordless pen and mouse for something like £60 -- don't remember the make but I do remember it was greenish colour....
