"TargetSpeed" lunge drills...any good?

I'm looking to add something more to my individual practice routine. Has anyone ever heard of or used a device called "TargetSpeed"? It seems to be a speed/point-control practice device. It looks fun (4 light model) but seems a little pricey. If anyone knows anything about them or has used one I'd like to hear your opinions. Thanks in advance.

We have a couple of those for the classes here. Using them regularly doesn't help build up point control all that much (the targets are relatively large, you see), but reaction speed is another matter. I wouldn't bother getting one for yourself, but if your club class/team/whatever has a few bucks to spare, then it's worth considering.
