In my personal opinion, not at all. In the pre-Windows days (when 12×12
digitizers cost over $1000,) the Calcomp boards were the absolute best.
Accurate, easy to configure, responsive, and excellent buttons. IMO, the
Drawingboard line is toylike in comparison. Awful drivers and odd-feeling
buttons.
Meanwhile, Summa has greatly improved their product. Their "pucks" used to
have very temperamental buttons, but I now swear by their product for CAD work.
I haven't had an opportunity to try their pressure sensitive line yet.
I agree that Wacom tablets are awesome for use with Painter and Photoshop. I
don't own one yet, so I can't report on their performance under AniStudio or
3DS.
