Looking Into A Rainbow Lorikeet. Your opinions?

He looks like a wonderful bird, but how tough are lorries as far as keeping them? I know they need their nectar and such, but are there any other costs that will add up?
I figure I spend $700 on the bird/cage/(whatever else is included), maybe $20-30 on extra toys, but I am not quite sure on vet fees(for a check up). Also, how much do you estimate(roughly) that I will need to spend on upkeep?
Also, you may have noticed that I am very into the money aspect of things right now, but that is only because that seems to be the only snag. I have hours daily that I can give to the bird.
I have a Swainson’s Lorikeet (which is almost identical to the Rainbow Lorikeet) and I absolutely love her. I was worried about the different diet and how much cleaning it would require, but it’s not bad. as far as cost go, the nectar I buy is about $20-25 (zupreem) and the pellets are about $10-15 (Pretty Bird). You will need something to line the bottom of the cage with, so that may be an added cost, however, I just use old newspaper. Toys should be rotated out ever so often so she/he doesn’t get bored. As far as toys are concerned, the price all depends on how much you spend. Fresh fruit does add up, I can’t really give you an estimate b/c I just go and get it and don’t pay attention to prices. I go through a bag of nectar roughly every 6-8 weeks, she has a big cage and small cage to sleep in at night. She has a small cage in another room so she can get her undisturbed sleep, so I go through a little more than usual. I have had the same bag of pellets since May, so they go a long ways, but mine eats more nectar than pellets. They are a blast to have.
