Yeah, the 4200 is a good card. Sure it's not as good as the 4600 or 4400, but it is WORLDS better than the MX cards. You can clock a 4200 up to about 4400 speeds without much difficulty. Since you currently have the Voodoo 5 you are probably used to pretty good FSAA. If you are a sim guy who likes to use FSAA for everything, be sure you get the 4200 w/ 128 mb of ram instead of the 64 mb version. W/ 128 megs of ram you will get excellent 4x FSAA quality. You can pick up a new 128 mb Visiontek Xtasy 4200 card for around $225.00 and an Xtasy 4400 for around $250.00. That being the case, if you were buying new I'd say spend $25 extra and get the 4400.
For $100.00 you can't go wrong. Get it.
