I own both tablets. I have a Wacom at home and use daily...I have the smaller vis-tablet that I use on the road with my laptop. I prefer the Wacom, but there are pros and cons for both:
Wacom: Pen does NOT need a battery, is MUCH more comfortable, and feels much more sturdy.
Vis-tablet: I had to tape the pen "shut". The two pieces that open to reveal the battery case constantly open and come apart. Very cheap plastic and smaller, not nearly as comfortable as the Wacom pen.
Wacom: I can adjust the drawing area of my table to about any size. I prefer a smaller drawing surface so I don't have to move my hand around much. A slightly larger tablet surface is more comfortable to rest my hand.
I had a Wacom tablet years ago, and LOVED the hot spots to automate tasks with just a click of my pen. I was able to customize each hot spot across the top for individual applications: Illustrator, photoshop, etc.
Vis-tablet: Hotspots are GREAT, sadly they are sometimes way click way off the edge of my computer screen and do not work with my dock on "hide dock" at all. I cannot trash files if the "hide dock" feature is on (Mac).
I don't like no being able to resize and shape my pen area. THis is a TINY tablet,so it is not a big deal. I would not likely use a larger Vis-tablet unless it has better customization features.
The best thing, for me about the Vis-tablet is the size. I actually can place it on the track pad of my Macbook Pro. It a a few inches smaller than Wacom's smallest tablet and is ideal for the portability factor.
I feel, overall that the quality of how each product is built, there is no contest. Wacom feels it will last a great deal longer than Vis-tablet. To prove my point, I have only owned my Vis-tablet for a month and the plastic overleaf of the tablet has come off and gone missing. Not good.
