Toaster 4000 questions

[thorrin]

I've been seeing a lot of these on Ebay lately.  A 4000 with a toaster went for ~$400 yesterday, and I see that you can buy the toaster itself for ~ $275.  Are these good deals?  Would it be better to get one of these or a fancy video card for the PC (blah).  

What are some of the features that the toaster has?  I think it has Lightwave, a genlock, and framegrabbing capabilites.  I seem to remember screen wipes and character generators...

 I remember these used to be THE thing to have a few years back.  How well do they stack up now?

Nice.  I figure that the flyer is an accelerator of some sort?  I have a 060/PPC (I think its the 204 Mhz).  How does that stack up against the flyer?

I may have to invest in one of these...
