I use an Intuos 4 (all day all the time) with both Photoshop and Illustrator. Having the additional resolution and layers of use is worth it to me, particularly with Photoshop. I've found that I prefer using the keyboard shortcuts instead of the shortcut buttons on the tablet, so if I didn't have shortcut buttons I probably wouldn't miss them.

One thing I really do like having is the multi-wheel; being able to zoom in / out or change brush size with it really speeds things along.

I'd really advise you to go someplace and actually put your hands on each of the tablets to see which one feels better for you. One other thing I did was to buy the "medium" size (instead of the "small" size) and it made a big difference. I am hoping to upgrade to the large at some point in my life - having that kind of real estate is really, really helpful.
One last thing - it will take time to get used to any tablet, so don't get frustrated if you're struggling a little when you first start.
