If you think that size will be an issue then it probably will be... but I'd say 6x8 is perfect for drawing. Above that, your hand motions have to be too big. You can always reduce the "active" area if that bothers you, but I think you'll find that 6x8 is as big as you'd want. They mostly use the big ones for CAD/drafting, and they use a puck for that.

Buy.com has the serial kind:

USB would be nice, but if you don't have a lot of peripherals (ie, you have a free serial port) and have room for a power adaptor, the serial one works fine. (that's what I have!)
