Sun Fire T1000 / T2000 for hosts?

I have been checking out Sun's new Ultra-Low-Power Multicore "Coolthreads" Servers (Link) and they look just great for web-server use. The price isn't THAT bad for the performance (assuming you don't pay for Solaris 10) and over the lifetime of the server they may save the data center a bundle over P4s or Xeons.

So the question becomes, A) Are they Worth It for a hosting environment and B) Would anyone pay for one as a dedicated server ?

You can even get a 60 day trial of a T2000... Hmm...
