Sun Workstations

I wanted to see if i could get some opinions on the following. Sun Java Workstation W1100z(W2100z way to expensive for me) and the sun blade series workstations 2500 15000 ect.....

Also why are the sun blade workstations so expensive and the processor Mhz's so low? Is there somthing special about UltraSPARC IIIi processors? Or is the high price because the blade workstations use special sun graphics cards?

i think the reason the blade servers cost more is because the technology is new. they are more intelligent as to remove/replace on the fly.

Not the servers the workstations.
