Anyone any experience of this sort of equipment?

Probably cynical but would there be any advantage of using one of these, instead of a plastic bucket, that would justify the price increase?

Are sure being cynical is ok but sure shiny is always cool when ye have lots of money to spend ^-^
They look pretty. If you compare the price of their conicals to the price of the brew bucket the conicals look like a much better price/product. Maltmiller will be doing a preorder for those in the coming months.
Benefits over fermenting bucket:
1. Perform pressurized transfers
2. Leave yeast behind in the cone for clearer, easier transfers
3. No siphoning, just open the valve
4. No scratches = no hidden infection (easy-to-clean)
Personally, they're not worth it until they get a bottom dump valve. The primary reason for having a conical is to be able to dump yeast / trub.
Rumor is they're going to release a version with a dump valve before too long.
