Actually it's worth the low price for Google Earth alone, but that's another story... :)
You'll want to look at one of the upper end models with more buttons to get much boost in modeling productivity. I've used them in the past, and felt they were an improvement. Some people get on with them, and some don't. Your mileage may vary...

Being old I-Deas users, we were used to manipulate the 3D view with the left hand, and when we got Catia first, it was really disturbing, and also the load of the right hand was IMO too high. Spaceball increased confort for users noticeably and the buttons are easy to configure too...

I gave my SpacePilot to one of the engineers because I do a lot more viewing than modeling and the two buttons were sufficient. I'll be checking in with him frequently on his thoughts about using the tool as we're evaluating them for department-wide use.
