It's the SP4 itself with the magnet. The pen attaches to it from the flat edge with the buttons.

Bummer, Is the new Pen that much better than the old pen?

It feels a bit better in the hand, but isn't a night and day difference. The biggest reason to buy one would be the eraser, though I'm not 100% sure if it works with the SP3.

I write with the pen a lot, and I think the new one is a lot better because the stock tip is much more grippy so provides a much better feel and precision when writing, and you have the option to change the tips to one that suits you. Also, the eraser feels very realistic - and again, as someone who writes rather than draws, I don't mind flipping the pen over to erase. I always had a hard time locating the buttons on the old one anyhow. Others prefer having the eraser always at hand, and I gather that the old eraser supports pressure levels while the new one does not.
