I've owned the bamboo fun 4x5 for almost a year now and I'd have to say it's a good little tablet. I've never owned another so I don't have much to compare it with but it does the job for me. For awhile I got some error with it on my computer but the thing worked anyway. Eventually the errors just stopped... weird. And, no buzzing noises for me! You might want to get that checked out. Oh, and the little 4x5 isn't a big deal. I like that the pen has 2 buttons on it that in photoshop are pre-programed one to switch to the hand tool to move the screen contents and two to open the brushes pallet options to change brushes. That makes for some pretty quick workflow once you get used to it.
