I'm not entirely sure of the differences. AFAIK, the model Analogic
sell is exactly the same as the Power one. I have an internal Power
Scanmagic with flickerfixer, and it works perfectly, although I believe
they've redesigned it since I bought mine, to free up the external
video connector. There were reviews of Eyetech and Power
scandoublers in AF and CU, but I've not seen any reviews recently.
You could try looking through back-issues.

The main advantage of the flicker fixer is that it will allow you to use
higher resolution screens without the flicker normally associated with
them. I would say it's worth it, my Workbench is (I think, don't quote
me on this though) 768x566 without any flicker, and it's so much
nicer viewing webpages at that sort of resolution. It's the best display
you're going to get out of your Amiga without getting yourself a
graphics card.
