Actually after looking around a bit the Touch looks like the way to go. Not for the touch features itself but it has twice the resolution and pressure sensitivity then the Pen alone. If I find myself liking it then I can upgrade to a better one some time down the road but it should be more then enough for my current level of skill. Thanks for the input guys.

I also found another version of the Bamboo that doesn't have the touch capability for about $30 less and just works as a pen tool. I'm not sure what the touch capability's add as far as animating and painting on a PC as from what I can tell they are more for navigation.

Posted this on the brakenwood forums and have only got one response so I'm hoping maybe some more people here can help me out.

My birthday is coming up and my fiancee want's to spoil me a bit this year so I told her I'd like to get myself a tablet (She doesn't work so when I get spoiled, I have to pay for it =S). The thing is, I don't know what a good tablet to start with is. My max range is probably about $120. So far I've looked at both of these two but I'm sure I'm missing some other good ones out there. Can anyone link me to some or make a suggested based on their own experiences with them?
