I tried it a few times, and it is quite clunky. However one can't really complain considering the 
price. If I recall you had to go through a large and specific canvas size increase, then run the 
scaler. I did not see a big advantage, but may not have had the right kind of images to show 
it's capability.
Regarding Photozoom Pro, I did beta test it. I thought it was good, and the various options 
and gui seemed very good.
However, when testing all of these things, I'd sugeest looking at tonal loss as well, which 
hasn't been discussed. If I recall, I was able to make Photozoom Pro toss out the majority of 
levels in a gray file, very bad. But it might have been an unusual action, like a downsize.

You gotta keep your eyes on every possible donwside!!!
