what are you saving up for, a tablet? If so, don't skimp out on a cheaper product. Go Wacom, and go big.

you may want to trial run the Cintiq before you buy it; a lot of consumer reports show that it falls short of what commercial artists expected (its more of a Cintiq-lite than a smaller ver. of the Cintiq). I've also read a lot more positive reviews, and can see (technically) the Intuos 4 being superior (double the pressure sensetivity, wider work area, more programmable buttons, reversibly/scalability, etc). I'm with you that I want to "see" the work area that I'm working on, but the more I read about it, and my personal experience with Intuos; I'm a bit wary of the Cintiq myself. Just my .02; hope that helps. Your money would be better spent on an Intuos4 and CS4 at a student rate, imo.

It really depends on whereabouts you live. SOME stores in large metro areas may let you "test drive" one; I've seen demos done in Dallas and Houston. Personally, I got to try a Cintiq 21x from an illustrator friend of mine who lives in Austin. Whereas it was a pretty cool experience, it didn't really "enhance" the tablet experience like I thought it would. I came to the conclusion that:
a)the Intuos was cheaper
b)a monitor has better resolution
c)my hand doesn't get in the way of my field of vision on an Intuos (:P)
d)the Intuos has more usable features than the Cintiq
but, that's just me. I can't let a tablet replace a pencil to paper for line work; and thus didn't see the need to "see" my work area. It may be different for you *shrugs* which is why I suggest "testing" first; if possible. Everyone's got their preferences.
