I’vr got two sized tablets: A4 and A6. I rarely use the larger as there isn’t any room for it. The smaller tablet sits on my desk where the the mousmat normally sits. It works fine there. I only use the other tablet when I need to use long strokes such as in painter or similar. And then it sits on my knee.

When you draw, do you draw mostly with your wrist and fingers or more with your arm? If you use your arm and large flowing motions, you will want a large one. If, like me, you barely move your arm then you will be more satisfied with a smaller one. That said, Wacom tablets (and probably the others too) come with pen and mouse modes, that is, relative or absolute movement modes. I have never used mouse (relative) mode but presumably you could configure the large tablets to accept smaller movements. I use a 4×5. It is small but well suited for the way I work.
Another important consideration is the number of buttons. If I could change one thing about my tablet, it would be more buttons. And for my purposes, they need to be real buttons, not the kind that are assignable and selected with the stylus

I think I will finally get a tablet (mainly for photoshop, but I might use it in AE and Illustrator too).
I really do not know how to size it. Would 6×8 be big enough for non-pro use? That should fit nicely on my desk.
How about the 6D pen? Is that a worthy upgrade?
Thanks in advance,
