does anyone use Wacom Intuos 3 graphic tablet for editing?

I have considered buying the Wacom Intuos 3 Graphics tablet for ease in photo editing.
But I have never used a pen tablet.
Any Suggestions ??? Your help would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks,

I love my tablet... It will be a little frustrating at first but in the end it is totally worth it. The best part is that it is pressure sensitive when using the paint brush or clone tool or whatever.

For photoshop work, I think a pad/tablet is the only way to go. The pressure sensitive brushes allow a lot more control of the editing (after you get use to it as Swanny338 noted).

love my baby one...but as a lefty with my mouse set up left handed, the button controls on the pen are now backward for ease of use....is it possible to have one input device set up for lefty and another for righty...can you tell I'm not a computer geek?

Thank you so much for all the input, I am a lefty too, but I have my mouse on the right side, I really think I will love the Wacom.
