I have been using the 21" Cintiq for a few weeks now with Maya and there really is no better way IMO, but I would not consider it to be a replacement for just the tablet as it is too large. However, you can use the Cintiq as just a tablet if you want, just connect the USB cable to your mac but not the DVI cable and it's a tablet.
