I recently bought an Intuos to replace my old Wacom saphire. I hated it, it is too big a footprint and the surface is rough, so it gives a nice feel, but it eats nibs. I do like the pressure sensitivity, but it comes in too large a package.

I don't know the Trust line, but it is a good price to try out the technology, and I for one prefer the cheaper tool to the top of the line.

I use one for certain types of editing, and find it extremely useful. I bought a Wacom Intuos 3 right before the Intuos 4 came out and the prices briefly plummeted. I would be cautious of cheap tablets, fearing horrible control and sensitivity issues. I have used one of the Wacom Bamboo tablets, and they are much cheaper than the Intuos series and are still pretty nice. Getting a HUGE one doesn't necessarily make using it easier, either. I find the 6x8 perfect for me. Smaller would be too small, larger would mean I have to move my hand uncomfortably far, losing the fine sensitivity I have. When you use them, the surface of the tablet is mapped to your screen, so moving the stylus to the top right of the pad is directly mapped to the top right of your screen, so moving across large areas can get troublesome with large tablets.

I'm using a Wacom Intuos 4, size medium, and I'm very happy about it. Using a tablet is a bit strange at first, but it's quickly addicting, and I would feel very uncomfortable without it now. If you do a lot of selective adjustments, a lot of masking, or if you want a better control over your dodge and burning effects, a tablet is really the way to go imho.

I'm kinda surprise you don't have this one given your lens budget. :)
