I love my Trackpad - I use it for everything (except logging in to an account where it does not work 'cos the driver isn't loaded! So have to revert to keyboard.)
I use Adobe Illustrator quite a lot, using it for making quite complex diagrams (one diagram can take all day) without problem. I use three monitors (2x20 and 1x27) and can move from side to side of all three with one swift swipe of a finger (Depends how Trackpad preferences are set). The advantages for me are that it is much easier on the wrist - you can be very light on the touch, using it all day does not make my wrist tired - the extra functionality available from the various hand gestures (multiple finger touch and swipe) is great. I've never had trouble with the Bluetooth connection. The Magic Mouse is not in the same class as the Trackpad. You have to change the batteries every two or three months. On the other hand - my wife cannot get on with it at all and prefers her Mighty Mouse!
