I've only played around with it for about two days, so I can't really speak for the full transition yet. ;) It's...tricky? I don't have the best hand-eye coordination, so the looking-at-the-screen-while-sketching thing is kind of throwing me for a loop. The surface is also quite different, but you can lay a thin piece of paper on top of the tablet. Having an undo function while sketching is really kind of awesome. :> What model are you considering? I bought a small and cheap one to play around with, since I'm way too much of a novice to consider the high-end Wacom tablets.
