I'm as confused as everybody else as to this claim that optical mice aren't as precise as ball mice. The only ball mouse I've heard of that has more resolution is the Boomslang Razor, and I couldn't see any artist using one of those unwieldly POS's. Like some others have mentioned, it's all kind of moot because anybody who is serious about digital art uses a tablet.
