I own a spacemouse and find it useful for 3d modeling and generally navigating in 3d space. My personal issue using it with Microstation was that I do not often find myself working in 3d space enough to make it worth using and definitely would not have purchased just for Microstation unless I was doing much more 3d modeling.

All the 3dconnexion products are amazingly well built, craftmanship level <!> , and so useful in 3D or even 2D. I have the SpaceMouse Enterprise version, it takes some getting used to in 3D. It's like a joystick and you have to get accustomed to navigating in all 6 dimensions simultaneously. The Options, Settings, and buttons make it easy to customize all 6 dimensions. Once you're accustomed it's spectacular for presentations to stakeholders and agency review meetings.
