I've run Sun3/50's a X terminals and those are pretty fast at it.  A
Sparc 2 is much faster than a Sun3/50, so I'd say they'd be good.  If
you make them X terminals you won't need the hard drives in the
machines, so you can put those somewhere else.  I'd add them to my RAID
chain.  With color monitors they should be pretty good.  I'd see if you
can bargin for the price, but they'd be pretty good.
