Well.. the Video toaster can't compare with the Matrox.  The Toaster for 
one thing can't control any devices such as recorders.  The quality 
between the two is very great.  From my experience (a hands on demo at 
school -- we also have one by the way), I would say that the quality of 
the matrox far surpasses that of the toaster.. besides, anything with a 
"sheep wipe" ... well. you gotta wonder huh?  <-  The sheep thing is on 
the toaster by the way. =)  I'll try to get you the phone number and 
address to the company as soon as possible.. (by Monday for sure).  All I 
know right now is that they are located in Canada and it costs around 
$20K; the key word is around since the actual system that we have at 
school cost more around $25-30K.

One more note.. the Matrox is capable of A-B-C rolls (two sources and 1 
recorder)
