Actually I got a Razer Hex gaming mouse recently and I'm loving it. So I would consider looking at a Razer tablet. Although I read the Penny Arcade article on drawing using the Surface Pro and I would want to see how the Razer handles that as well.
I just think it's great there are so many options now.
