The newest LightWave for PC is not that expensive either (sub $300).
That is a stripped down version of Lightwave and lacks a allot of the features that the full version has.
The big plus that the Video Toaster 4000 had on the Amiga was that it ran on an Amiga. I never had issues with it crashing for no reason and the Amiga OS was far more stable than even XP is today plus it only needed 16mb of ram and 2mb of chip (graphics) memory to run.
The biggest flaw the Amiga had was the poorly built power supply and the clock battery leaked and caused damage to the MB if you didn't catch it soon enough. I upgraded both the power supply and the battery in mine and never had troubles.
