Drawing tablet advice for Illustrator

[patseguin]

At my business I need to redraw a lot  of customer supplied artwork so I have vector for screen printing. I find it hard to use the pen and Bezier tool and often prefer to use the pencil but doing it with a mouse really stinks.

 

Would this be what I want for doing better free hand drawing?

I've always preferred a mouse for vector-based work.

EVen when you have to draw freehand?

[Shiranui]

Don't do much freehand, but yes.

Even if you used a pen, you'd need to tidy up the lines with a mouse afterwards.
