Don't get me wrong, my Surface served me very well, but I think the more recent entries in the Pro line, like you said, moved away from the art focus and leaned more on the administrative side of things (although the Pro 3 from what I read is a mighty capable art tool). My desire for something primarily for artists is what made me ultimately choose the Cintiq, but a night ago I left my stylus at my day job and the old Surface kept me sane.
Glad you like the pic!
