Which Tablet to get?

Been googling a lot, most of the threads (at least the ones on DA lol) point to Wacom, w/ a few mentions to Huion and Monoprice.

Can anyone say anything about [url=http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Graphic-Drawing-Tablet-Pressure/dp/B00DKW816K]this[/url] one? The price is pretty nice, and there's a few reviews saying its the same as Wacom and such, but I'd like to know if the extra $15/25 for a Wacom will make a good difference.

And um, what exactly is the difference between the Splash and Capture Touch? Would've expected the Capture to cost more with the touch function but Splash is $10 more.
Then there's those vs [url=http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Touch-Small-Tablet/dp/B00EN27U9U]this,[/url] which is also the same price as the Splash. So many options

I had a XP-Pen Deco ( https://www.xp-pen.com ) Drawing Tablet , and before that a Wacom Intuos, so I know both brands. Maybe not a very fair comparison though, due to the tablets' differences in age and size...
wacom is in high quality, but xp-pen is affordable and no problem to use.
i don't know much about huion so i can't say anything positive or negative about it

My artist friends used a wacom. And he was a good artist. That's all the input a stickfigure drawing old fart can give.

go with wacom if u got the money.
monoprice is an alternative for larger size = moderate price.
but any brand aside from these, i do not guarantee durability nor working drivers for all it's future usage.
Such as and not limited to: customer support, bugs, art software incompatibility etc.

Screw the touch functions on those and just get the basic pen drawing types
u'll more or less turn it off since it will interfere with ur drawing space.
Amazing how they charge over 10% for a useless function.
