Do want.
But ya...the Intuos line rocks too
I prefer not moving my hand too much...so when I got my 12x9, I ended up configuring the "work area" down to like a 5x5 square...so i had a lot of wasted space. If I buy another - I would go with the 6x8.
edit: That was the intuos 3 dimensions. I would go with the Intuos 4 Medium
