Graphire4 or save up for an Intuos3?

I've got about $120. Get the Graphire4 6x8 now or wait a couple months and get an Intuos3 6x8? I mostly ink and colour, no painting.

Intuos3 has way more pressure levels (1024 vs 512) and the tilt sensing. If you can wait, wait.

I've had an Intuos3 6x8 for two years and it's the best money I've spent on art. The express keys are great too.

Or buy a good brush and a bottle of ink for $20 and keep the change. Just saying.

Real ink. Real paper. Real smudges.

Update: got the Intuos3 6x8 off eBay for $230. It's amazing. The Graphire would've been fine but this is so much nicer.
