While it almost pains me to say it on some level I think that, when you consider that if you're even a little serious about drawing your tablet will be something you use almost every day ideally for hours at a time, I'd say it's worth the extra money. The best way I can put it is this:

Despite its relatively low price, the Giano is easily better than every single conventional tablet Wacom offers in all but one very important category. It has a freehand drawing-friendly large surface while simultaneously being much smaller overall than the Intuos Large, it has a lot of hotkeys, wireless out of the box, a surface material similar to Wacom's best (the Intuos 3) and I haven't run into a single software problem with it yet. However, the stylus just isn't very good when compared to Wacom's and considering how important that is it should be enough to give anyone pause.

While charging its battery is practically a non-issue, and the lack of tilt and an eraser isn't much of a concern either, the Huion stylus is so sensitive that to get to the light and even the medium pressure settings you must hardly be providing any pressure at all beyond the almost non-existent weight of the stylus itself.

Is it so bad that it's a "deal breaker"? I'd say no. The Giano is still the second best conventional tablet you can buy by a substantial margin and actually eclipses Wacom's best in several ways, but if you can afford it and you have enough desk space for it, the Intuos Large is the better tablet.
