k is actually pretty reasonable for the Cintiq, all things considered. I'm pretty set in my ways with my imac and tablet, but I could see getting one at some point.
You mush have allot of cheddar if you think dropping 2k on a device is reasonable. If I had a free 2k I'd get one. Getting one would also make me feel like an ass for spending all that time learning how to draw on a tablet as well as I do on paper.
