Need Advice on a Drawing Tablet.

[Artificial Sugar]

(I'm not entirely sure this is in the right place, so I apologize for that in advance.)
​

 
​

So. I'm a digital artist, and currently, I'm using an Intuos Pen and Touch in Medium size.
​

I want to buy a pen display tablet, like a Cintiq, because I believe it would be much easier to draw if I can see what I'm drawing right in front of me.
(I've always had a little issue with a regular tablet.)
​

 
​

I have a budget of about $500, so obviously a newer Cintiq is out the window.
​

I've been considering a Monoprice 22inch tablet, a Cintiq 12wx, or a Yinova 19inch tablet.
​

 
​

I would love to hear from those of you who have or have had/tried these tablets, and if you still use them, if you think they're worth it.
If you use something different and recommend it, I'd love to hear that too.
​

 
​

I'm very picky with these things because I don't want to waste money (I don't have a lot to waste). 
​

So any pros/cons that you guys can give me would be incredibly helpful. :>

I wish I could give you some advice, but I've only ever used Intuos 2 and when that died I got a cheap lil' bamboo drawing tablet because my desk size is small.  It works perfectly fine for what I use it for and for its price it's good.  It seems most go with the Cintiq brand for what you want to do.
