thanks for all the replies, an A3 scanner would indeed be a useful bit of kit for illustrations as well, but costs a fair chunk, and an A3 Wacom tablet, well I could dream I suppose! Its down to versatility I guess, which is more useful for more tasks.
Out of interest anyone know if you can get a puck for the new Wacom tablets? I assume they are USB and there's no problem if the software/drivers are compatible?
The whole idea of scanning (it does take a while) then opening in Corel, tracing over etc etc, just seems a faff, rather than just doing it all in CAD, but I suppose that's what I'm used to when I had a choice of three A0 tablets...I guess you just trace one plan while the next one is scanning.
I'll have a look at prices for reconditioned A3 flatbed scanners and see how they compare to a reconditioned A3 tablet....
thanks again
