as long as your desk isn't horribly reflective then don't worry about a mouse pad, even the most "Advanced" pad that pro-gamers use doesn't help much at all it's just their comfort zone.

If you are planning to buy a mouse that expensive i for sure you will use it either for gamming or for design. Both of this task will be seariusly improved by the use of a hi-quality mouse pad.
If you are a gammer i wouldn't recommend a wireless mouse, because is a bit less responsive, however if it is what you want a good mouse pad is in this link:

And again i would tell you to get a razer mouse which are by far the best

mouse pad provides a solid surface to reflect light (esp important if it is a laser or optical mouse, not a rollerball). It reduces friction and makes it easier to move around. The mouse pads with the wrist rest built in are pretty sweet at reducing wrist strain and fatigue...

Depends on the surface. I have yet to find an optical mouse that will work acceptably well at all on my dining room table w/o a mouse pad.

Although you should not need a pad for an optical mouse, sometimes shiny surfaces will cause a headache. If the surface you are using your mouse on is shiny, it will reflect the LED and your mouse will go nuts!

A mouse pad isn’t necessarily required, however if you use your mouse a lot on a wooden surface it will eventually start wearing the wood. I continue to keep using one myself.

Yes, a mouse pad would help out. Makes it easier to move the mouse around

A pad is not required for an optical mouse. There is no good reason to use one.

not required, but it's a lot easier to use an actual mouse

For a laser mouse - absolutely!
Get one with a flat or fabric finish - not a high gloss finish!
