OK to jump in here, I've used a tablet for years for sculpting, painting and drawing. For modeling on Silo and other pixel pushing I use a mouse, but since they added ZModeller I do mus less of that. Recently I've seen that Wacom is offering the "One" which appears to be a relatively low cost entry level to their Cintiq, smaller and with less bells and whistles. I think some people that are not familiar with using a tablet may find this easier to get used to, depending on your budget, I believe it is priced in the $400.00 range, but I'm not positive.
