Powermate vs. normal Barlow

Does anyone have any factually-based opinion on how much better of an image can be made using a Powermate vs. using a normal type of a Barlow lense? How much of a difference is there? The difference in price can be about $100 or more. I would be purchasing one to use with a Meade LX-90 (8 inch) and LPI for planetary imaging.

Thanks!!

Mike
