Are the reviews raving about both versions? Which one is the best? (Refresh & Sensitive)

Sensitive seems to be a tad better shave. Smell is good. If you use the sensitive posts have balm it is very good. The green stripe in a shaving creme tube is my preference, the smell of that eucalyptus is intoxicating in the morning. The green aftershave is just as good. So try both to see your preference.

I can only speak for the Proraso refreshing and toning aftershave. But my expereince is that it does exactly what it claims, it cools and tightens my skin leaving a light masculin scent that last for hours.

refurbished is lots better. How much better depends on who refurbished it, but its always better.

Yes, there are two versions. I use the free version, which is adequate for home use. I have been using it for over four years and very satisfied with the basic functions.

Refurbished units are almost always good deals. Except for an insert statement indicating that my 340S was a refurbed unit, it looked brand new. Note that most recent map updates are not part of the refurbed package, but then I avoid the hassle and hazards of such downloads anyway. For the basic purpose of getting from point A to point B such updates are of little value to the vast majority of users.

I have the same question. Is it worth paying over $200 for the IS enabled version?

As I understand the issue - and, granted, I may be mistaken, but this is what the information I've gathered suggests - the Intuous is a higher-grade model. How so? Three ways that I know of: 1) Software package. The Graphire comes with one suggested to be worth roughly $100; the Intuous with one about $200. (Personally, I'm of the opinion that both are slightly undervalued, compared to how much they'd cost if you actually tried to purchase the individual pieces of software in a computer store.) 2) Sensitivity. The Intuous has something like twice the sensitivity levels. The Graphire isn't INsensitive, certainly, but the Intuous has amongst the highest sensitivity levels I've EVER heard of in graphics tablets. Sensitivity being useful for increased control - the harder you press, the darker or broader the strokes, etc. Increased sensitivity means there's a wider array of possible results from a given stroke, and so more control so you get EXACTLY the look you want. 3) Secondary buttons. Graphire has a couple, Intuous has several. These are, oh, somewhat like buttons in a modern gaming joystick, insofar as that they can be mapped to pretty much any key or combination of keys you like. Maybe you have one button that switches your tool to Pencil mode, and another to Eraser, and a third to Airbrush, or whatever. This way you don't have to constantly go back to your keyboard or mouse to switch configurations. The more buttons you have, the more things can be linked, and, theoretically, the less often you'll need to move your hands away from the tablet yourself, which maximizes efficiency.

No lag. In either mode. I suffer from constant connection problems and randomly the sensivity spikes 100x. Stick with what you got until their next wieeless

I have tried both and frankly I actually prefer sigma version. Why? Price and speed. 85 is very temperamental, it has to be perfect for it to work good, and do we have perfect clients who dont move? I work with children and do travel photography, sigma is my perfect friend. See photos on my blog at larissakphotography.com/blog

As far as I know, the differences are minimal....Both are excellent; save the $20,go with the 190XB. I love mine.

I had 2 of them both were different in sensitivity. But one did fry on me. Soo far the second one is working great. The music does have to be loud for it to work correctly. It all depends on your placement of the device.

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

Does anyone knows the real difference between these two models and which one is better buy? I see the Special Edition has better screen and I know it has better/bigger mouse pad, but what else?

Don't even consider getting the V1 (version 1), there were multiple display issues, connection issues, quality issues UI issues etc. All those problems were solved and improved with the V2. The V2 is as good or better than the Cintiq generally speaking.

When you're a novice like myself, the one thing everyone should do is tweak the "sensitivity" in advanced settings for "Motion Detection", I stopped a sh.. load of unnecessary e-mail notifications. AND also (for new "owners of), you DO have to "continue anyway" and click on that when you get certificate security warnings. Working great for me with it set on 65 sensitivity, and for 30 second "Intervals", with "All the time" there's motion detection. Can't stress the sensitivity levels enough.

I do not know the difference between gentle and standard; I use the standard version and it is perfect for me. Sorry that's all I can offer.

Hello Terence,If you order now, you will receive the updated version. As for the sensitivity issue, Google has been researching this issue as it may be a hardware issue.
