Agreed. Since I've conditioned myself to my Wacom tablet, I feel
exceptionally clunky in anything that requires precision without it.

I have been using a tablet since 1988 on a Quantel paintbox and I
can't even imagine not having one. Cintiq I don't like because I am
used to not seeing my hand in front of me at this point from regular
tablet use. They are also a little slower then normal Wacoms. So you
get a slight lag in response. My tablet is also wireless so I can
pretty much be in whatever position like like. thats not really an
option with a cintiq. Its take about 2 weeks of steady use to get
used to using it but once you are used to it pretty much you won't
ever want to use a mouse ever again for graphics.

Before you get one, you might talk to somebody who has had one as
they are great at some things and terrible at others. Robert
McClintock (digital artist) had one a few years ago and I recall
he said it lasted 3 weeks with him. I tried one out too, and I
unpacked it, set it up, got working on it and the next afternoon
it went back in the box and left.
