A few months ago I had the wonderful situation of getting payed for a game coloration job. And since I needed a new light table (Ikea table didn't work that good if you need to clean up a lot of sketches...) I bought one.
Hurray!
My light table is from the "Dörr Professional Line", measures around 30 x 46 centimeters and is awesome.
It's one of those flat versions and I like the whole thing a lot.
If you need to work with bigger paper sizes a light table with 46 cm length is quite nice, not to mention that it doesn't weigh tons.
Price: around 200 bucks (yeah, a lot)
I got mine from ebay which didn't hurt that much.
What I like as well is that the cable is quite long. If you happen to have a lack of outlets this is very practical (I happen to have a very big lack of outlets).
Works good although i should mention that you shouldn't keep it too long on a sheet or else it gets yucky when you rub it off and smears.
Price: around 4.50 Euro (I bought mine 6 months ago and it's still not empty so the price is *okay*)
I hope it works... I decided that I rather ask for help than banging my arm again (or worse) and if it works that way and I can finish some things faster.... I have no problem with it. :)

I had never seen a tablet like this. Do it works like an animation desk? or is it connected to the computer in order to get a digital inked copy of the sketch? o.O
^^ I see that cats is always around you. =)
@Lorena nah, it works like an animation desk. You can clamp you paper on both horizontal lines and trace, refine, copy sketches or ink. (or sketch animations)
That's such a nice light table. All I ever had is an improvised one (a glass on two boxes of shoes with a light under), sadly is not easy to find light tables like that here. ):
And your cats must love you, they are always around you. : D
