What are your thoughts now for Wacom Medium here vs the Huion one?

$20-40 ciscle / renaisser rechargeable pen, or surface pen off ebay used.
Honestly for doodling, far nicer.
I mark up a lot of drawings. Red lines and text boxes on pdfs etc.
Im not sure this would be better than key and mouse..
I tried a cheaper pad and it just wasnt useful enough.. like i would very often have to put the pen down to either do a shortcut via keyboard or reference other things etc as you do..
Which if using a mouse, your hand never leaves the mouse from either using the pc, or working on your drawing..
I feel like id need a nice bit of software to really make a pad shine for marking up drawings more efficiently than normal?
Looking for advice
I have used all sizes of Wacom tablets over a couple of decades, and what I've found is:
small = most convenient for actually using the computer
large = awful for actually using the computer because you have to move your arm quite a lot to get across the screen. Yes, you can change the settings so that it behaves like a mouse OR designate a smaller portion of the tablet for navigation, but in practice those weren't fun. The big huge upside is that drawing/painting fine details is much easier.
medium = acceptable compromise between small and large but still is a bit too large for actually-using-the-computer and sadly a bit too small for the fine detail work that large is awesome at
That said, I chose medium this time even though I probably should have chosen small based on my ratio of design work vs. everyday actually-using-the-computer.
I don't use tilt often enough to justify the Pro price and preferred the small size/portability of this non-Pro model. But if I could get a Pro for deep discount, I'd buy a Pro.
NOTE: when the battery dies in these, you will find that it is not worth sending it back in to Wacom to replace the battery. Other owners have opened it up and posted photos of the exact battery used including the part number and specs--it is not available anywhere that I know of. However, some people have simply disconnected the battery when it died or bulged too much and use the tablet in wired mode.

It takes practice but this can be used instead of a mouse while you're working and will likely feel more intuitive.
