Not in the least. it's not a workstation. It doesn't have a framebuffer on
it. Nor does it have input devices (unless you like serial consoles).

Also, the Sun Blade 1000 is about $15K (High-end workstation). You're
thinking of the SunBlade 100, which is the new low-end workstation.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the Blade wouldn't be all that great of a
workstation".
