Wacom Bamboo -- Thoughts?

I was thinking of buying one of these babies for a personal birthday gift (it's my birthday today, btw.) I just wanted to get some feedback on this. Is it worth it? It's not as cool/expensive as the Wacom Cintiq, which has touch screen -- I want something that will allow me to do drawings/tracings of my favorite images or some general experimenting with line art, etc.

The Bamboo Graphics tablet is in my opinion, a below average tablet, I haved used it, but I had to get used to it, quite hard, I know about this because I used it for a month, but I returned it. It depends on what you would like to do with it, you should check out some reveiws, google some reviews, and it will aid your choice on choosing the right tablet. Doing simple things like line art, will be acceptable with this tablet.
