Buttkicker gamer: Yay or nay?

I saw the review of the Buttkicker Gamer on Sim Racing Tonight and was
wondering if it's really worth it. Has anybody here used it?

The Buttkicker adds an element to sims, but it is dependent on the
sounds of the sim and how you tune in the Buttkicker.  It works better
in some sims than others.  I found it was hard to get it to work well in
LFS because the wind sound has so much low end in it that the Buttkicker
was constantly picking that up.

I'd like to try and customize sounds to make the BK more effective.  For
example, if you added a very low frequency to curb sounds, you could
bring out the feel of the curbs.

If you get one, try to get it on sale as I don't think it is worth it at
full price.

You also may want to look into the Ivibe http://ivibe.com/default.htm
It is more money but sounds promising.
