Hi guys,
Hope you all are doing great! 

I have an idea of getting into Jewelry 3D modeling and do 3D modeling for concept character arts after learning anatomy. I found that having a graphics tablet; especially a Wacom will go handy in digital sculpting rather than using a mouse. So I went to their official site and found many models. One model took my attention because it was promoted directly towards the digital sculptors. It's the Wacom Intuos 3D. https://www.wacom.com/en/products/pen-tablets/intuos-3d

There's something I have in my mind struggling. 
Wacom Intuos 3D has 2048 pressure sensitivity in it. But, some other low budget Wacom tablets have the same pressure sensitivity 2048. My budget is around $200 - $250. What is the best choice I have ? Please help me. I am open to any ideas and accept honest advises from you guys. 

Waiting for your response.

Thanks,
Ranula.  :)

    They all basically do the same thing, price is mostly determined by the size and extra features (such as blue-tooth support and number of express keys). I personally like their medium sized tablets, though small ones are nice if you don't have much desk space.

    Also keep in mind there are good (MUCH cheaper) alternatives to Wacom these days, like Huion and XP-Pen. The alternative brands don't support pen tilt, but if you're only using it for zbrush then it doesn't matter since zbrush doesn't support pen tilt either.

    I once bought Huion and its pen felt rather like a mouse. The pen tip  was a kind of slack and made a constant click-click, click-click sound.   Now I have Intuos pro.  The pen feels  perfect but gosh it annoys me tremendously with its driver and touch ring thing.   Nothing is capable to kill it  and I constantly touch it accidently   so I regret I haven't bought just a plain simple cheap Wacom tablet without any extra crap.
