Sheer convenience, too: if you draw with this pen, the drawing is already scanned, rather than having to dig out the scanner (which, in our household, lives in a pile of other gadgets under a desk) and fiddle with TWAIN settings to get stuff into Photoshop. Plus you can work on the move if you have your laptop and a sketchpad with you - of course, you can do this with a regular graphics tablet, but from my (hobby) artist partner's comments, it's much more fun drawing on paper than on a tiny graphics tablet.
