I've used (and still have buried someplace) the Logitech Pen (ditto a CrossPad, which seems to cross paths with this software as well...) and three generations of Tablet PC's.

The Logitech Pen never really lived up to its fame. The Cross Pad wasn't toooo bad...

The key difference I place my faith in with the iLiad: Wacom.

I should put a caution on that, *if* irex has the pressure sensitivity hooked up. In my experience those lovely 256 levels of pressure sensitivity make a nice difference in hand writing recognition recognition rates. I also have my favorite Cross Executive Stylus (no cap) that I use on my Tablet's. A nice upgrade for recognition rates as well (helps keep the hand from getting sloppy from stress.)

Personally I'm sweating my battery working in my iLiad more than whether the hand writing recognition will rock (possibly eventually with iLiad software >2.X something).

As for pricing, the MyScript site was 60 euro, irex said 50 euro, I wound up paying $62.94 USD.

According to Google: 62.94 U.S. dollars = 49.1066552 Euro

I just checked the site now and it says 59.95 EUR, so maybe it pays to shop early.
