I do agree on the insurance though.
I know, I come off as harsh, I usually do. But, *toy* by definition: something that serves for or as if for diversion, rather than for serious practical use. Fun, yes. Love them, hell yes. Practical, usually really not.

It's all in what it is worth to you. Many choose the cost as an item worth it... as a trade off. That's fine. It's just my opinion, I'm not going into debt for something I want ever again.
