Be aware, however, that while these are excellent rangefinders, they aren't that good when trying to find the distance to diamond plate or other shiny surfaces... darn physics.

$15 for the sensor,
$40 more to interface it with the NXT, plus the analog inputs are only designed to read 0-3.3 volt signals (This might not be an issue, the rangefinders data sheet wouldn't load)
More importantly, It likely wouldn't be legal. It uses a non-visible light LED while only visible light LEDs are allowed in custom circuits <R5>c32. Also, the infrared LED could cause trouble if another robots IR seeker picks it up, which could be seen as a violation of <R5>d7. However, I am not capable of making an official ruling, the Q&A forum would be the place for that.
