Swapped my light table for a tablet screen, took me 6 months to fully trust it

I used to trace everything on a light table in my drafting station, the old fluorescent one in the corner of my shop in Tulsa. About 6 months ago I switched to a cheap drawing tablet with a matte screen protector, mostly because my neck was killing me from hunching over. At first I kept second-guessing my line weights and checking the print, but after I calibrated the pressure sensitivity it just clicked. Do any of you still use physical light tables for certain tasks, or has everyone gone fully digital for tracing?

Kept my old light table just for inking vellum because nothing else gets that warmth right.
