I have no experience with this part, but I'm doing some retro computing with C64, C128, Apple IIC... and I'm usually trying to solve to opposite way (S-video/Composite -> VGA/HDMI) and my 2 cents are:
1. with buffered convertor you can (and probably will) have some sync problems with fast animation coming from CMM2 - it will be synced on VGA side and not on the 15kHz side
2. colors will be washed out (you in Germany will have this better with PAL than NTSC, but anyway)
3. this destroying of "VGA quality" will cost you the same money, that you can put into small LCD monitor with VGA input (some 17" or 19")
4. higher resolutions will probably not work
