What are fair prices nowadays? How do you even price art correctly? How do I escape this insecurity hell?

GUYS GUYS GUYS

There's a brush in Corel Painter I REALLY like. I need it in my life. But I have Photoshop, and I want to use it in Photoshop. How. Can. You. Get. A Corel Painter brush in Photoshop?? I believe you can do the opposite at least.

After reading this and many other threads over /ic/ and the internet, I came to the conclusion that to draw digitally I'll start with a regular Intuos. The Intuos Pro is out of question, for now. My dilema is -and other anons like the Russian guy might know recognize me from the other thread- that where I live the difference between the price of them is very fucking high. Let's see:

>Intuos Pen Only Small
Amazon: $79
Local amazon-like E-store: around $160 or more
>Intuos Pen & Touch Small
Amazon: $88
Local: $260 or more
>Intuos Pen & Touch Medium
Amazon: $169
Local: $430 or more

No, the Local is not according to local money, it's according to what the local price equals to in american dollars.
"But Anon, why don't you just get it from Amazon then?" long story short, Amazon is not an option, you import something and the government keeps it before it reaches your door. If you want it back you have to travel to the other side of the country and sometimes pay like half the price of the product, sometimes much more. For the same reason, I can't buy a Huion either, they don't sell them here and I would need to import it.

With all that being said, what would be the best choice in my situation? it's also worth saying that my screen is 20'' and since it's a desktop the tablet should also have a long USB, which is why I'm hesitating about the Intuos Small. For it, the "pros" are its price and the fact that it has everything I need in a tablet, and the "cons" MIGHT be its size and the length of the cable.
As for the other two, they're better than the Intuos Small in every sense, so the only "cons" are the high price. The stupidly high price. I mean, yeah, I can afford them, but it's still a bit unfair it's not the right price and it will hurt to get something that expensive knowing it's probably not worth the price.

TL;DR will the flawed but cheap enough Intuos Small work for me? or should I suck a dick and get an expensive medium sized one?
