Each to their own on this one, but E-Trade is encouraging traders to move to Power as it takes up less resources.
I use Power and have been able to run a dynamic watchlist with 5-600 warrants in it, updated through the ASX site. I've also been able to run 16 Power Windows at once, in a mix of intertwined screens set up in "no frames" mode.
The recent improvements to Power charts are welcome, but a dozen bugs were quickly spotted, some of which are fairly serious and some functionality has actually been lost (try keeping a smaller version of a screen open on the intra-day one minute setting past lunch time - oh, well). If one has one full screen chart open and only uses it casually, it works fairly well.
One advantage of Power over Pro is the more efficient use of screen real estate.
AOL is normally a more reliable provider of the Power equivalent, but there are cons of their service too.
