Is it worth buying a Wacom Cintiq 12WX (graphics tablet)?

my boyfriends on a games design course and were having this debate whether the graphics tablet Wacom Cintiq 12WX is worth buying. it costs £700. i say its not worth the money and he wont use it alot. he reckons it is worth the money. what do you reckon?????
also are there any other cheaper alternatives to this one that are just as good?

thanks

The rule with tools is “get the best you can afford”. I did some research on tablets a while back, and all but wacom, had nothing but complaints.
