And it has a great tactile control surface (i.e. Balls!!!) that allow an
operator to work much faster than if they can with a pen.

Another important note - prolonged color correction using a pen leads to
wrist and hand pain.

Slightly OT:
Wacom claims that stylus reduces repetitive stress injuries and that tablets
are better than trackballs. http://www.wacom.com/comfort/index.cfm
I've been using tablets for 15 years and except for ocassional strong pain
in my forearm I've got nothing to complain about. According to a specialist
the pain has to do with my neck, not the wrist. So what do you know.
Regarding the color correction in DS, lots of Avid editors are not good colorists.
They assume the roll because the tools are there and clients expect it. These
tools offer lot more than setup/gain/chroma/phase that a traditional online
editor had to deal with. When you combine somewhat slugish tools with somewhat
undertrained talent the bad word that Avid color corrector is not great gets
out on the street.
