Default Suggestions for a starter tablet

I've been doing more and more photo editing and graphics work lately and want to pull the trigger on a tablet but all the starter tablets seem so small. I mean 5.8" x 3.6" just doesn't seem like enough space to work with, or am I just overestimating the amount of space I'll need while working with it? I'm interested in a WACOM Bamboo:

The tablet has settings so you can set it to match screen size etc. the 6x8 is pretty decent, we use them in our shop. There is quite a big learning curve to use them, so plan on getting frustrated for a bit, but once you get it down it is truly a great tool.

Thanks for the quick response. I figured that it would take awhile to get accommodated to it but I'm also a quick learner so hopefully I'll catch on with ease. I might even take a class or two at the local CC to learn a bit quicker.

It seems like we have more tech classes in the NW and at local CC's than other places. A buddy of mine who does graphic design suggested that I check out the classes there and said it helped him out alot and mentioned one with hands on training with tablets. I don't know if they use WACOM but I'm assuming training on one tablet will be universally helpful.

We use the 21'' wacom also- it's great. Little expensive but it's an excellent tool.
