Lomo have a quick demonstration video on Vimeo which should clarify things:

I found it helpful because I still get a tad confused about which roll film backs and the like will and won't work with my Calumet C400.

Regarding the cost, Lomo makes a point of spruiking the ability to check lighting and composition, etc. in the same way Polaroids were in the past, quickly and cheaply. I simply don't find that to be true. I bought 10 x 10 packs of Instax Mini and, even in bulk, I still find my Arista EDU Ultra 4x5 film to be a better return on investment.
I suppose anyone using colour sheet film would beg to differ!
My thought on the price difference between the black and white instant films and the colour offerings MAY have something to do with the severe colour casts the earlier offerings of black and white instant films had. Colour fidelity was never really a concern with the colour films - weirdness touted as a feature, not a bug!
Pure speculation and poorly articulated to boot. At any rate, I hope some sense can be wrung from that last paragraph.
