Hi everyone, Im not sure this question is in the right place... if not please let me know...
Im considering changing my Wacom bamboo pen i have owned for about 7-10 (ish) years, that i use primarily for modeling and sometimes sculpting; i know its not the best tablet but it really gets the job done, but at this point i think it would be nice to upgrade. 
Does anyone own any intuos draw or 3D? that can recommend one or the other; i understand that the "3D" version has touchpad  and comes with zbrush core. Is there any other difference between these two tablets? just some software and touchpad capabilities? ohh and of course, a bigger tablet (i dont really care about taht tho) lol

What do you guys think? 
is the 3d version worth it?
Is the draw version any good for 3d modeling/sculpting?

    as far as i know the new "intous" series is just a renamed bamboo series, so its the same stuff you already have
    the upgrade would be the intuoas pro series, which is like the old intuos stuff
    but to be honest, i had an old bamboo and upgraded to an intuos4, in my opinion it wasn't really worth it for 3d art or texturing, even worse, it was a drawback since the intuos was bigger  and i liked the small bamboo
    i guess the intuos pen was nice, but thats about it. didn't really notice the extra pressure levels and didn't really need the tilt recognition...
    what really made a difference was investing into a cintiq

    The bamboo pen has 1012 (something like that) pressure levels, and the Intuos has 2048, thats the reason i feel its worth the upgrade... i have a bigger tablet with more pressure levels but its bigger and i really like that small size, so i only use the bigger one when i need to be more accurate...

    thanks for the advice.
