Graphic Tablet help!?

Question:

Graphic Tablet help!?

I have been thinking about buying a Graphic Tablet for drawing anime, and I have been looking at the various ones. There are several available, and looks like the Wacom ones get the best reviews, but the one i can afford is a 4X5. Thats a pretty small work space if you ask me.
Should I just go with that one, or try my luck at a less expensive, bigger interface one? Does anyone own something different then the Wacom? Do those people do detailed art? Whats the difference? Does the smaller interface on the Wacom really matter that much? Please help!!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I believe that you would find 4x5 very confining as an artist. I think a much better and cheaper solution would be just to buy a scanner and use that to scan inked drawings. That way you could be drawing with all the control you need. You get what you pay for in graphics tablets and in order to get that high level of detail you need the more expensive tablets.
