I'm already enjoying using my tablet a LOT more... the Grip Pen is great, but, for me, the Classic is much more comfortable to work with because of its' smaller diameter.... plus, it's of typical Wacom quality....

I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that my very first tablet was a wacom 4"x5" intuos (1) way back when. So when I bought a huge non wacom tablet ...got rid of that within days and bought a intuos 3 6x8. And the cheap brand tablet and this intuos 3 came with these fat marker size pens that I just can't get used to. I wonder if I never had the original pen if I would have disliked the new fat grip pens so much...I'll never know. So for months i put up with using the fat grip pen =/ Anyways, so recently i purchased a Cintiq 12" and love it! And felt hell if I'm spending like $1,000(US) for this tablet I might as well treat myself to a classic pen! and yep now that I have it is is exactly like the wacom intuos GD pen I had a decade ago =) I'm very very tempted to even buy 1-2 more! (I probably will infact) because I like how Corel Painter remembers each different pen and you can pretend you're using real media and even put a different tip on each one (right now I got 2 fat pens, one from my intuos 3 and one that my cintiq12wx came with and this classic pen .. but I only use the classic pen) but none of my other programs remembers each pen type =/ Anyways, just as advertised this is the original pen! That we all love (if you ever had it)! I'm going to buy 2 more now after typing all this lol.

The pen that comes with Intuos3 tablets is nice, but it's big, especially for someone with small hands. This pen is maybe about the size of a regular rollerball pen, and is nicer to use. It has all the other features (eraser, rocker switch) of the included pen too. It comes with a pen stand that's a little more aesthetically attractive, too.
