Yeah I've seen the powercal and I've concluded that I'm better off saving toward a powertap or power2max. Power2max looks good to me.
I'm using the CycleOps Magneto [Cycleops] curve now as it was recently updated from the beta version. The only difference is that the Watts at higher speeds look to follow the Cycleops published curve better. (I have the Magneto which is the same as the road curve on the Supermagneto.)
As for the tests, I would say you really need make sure you are rested so you do a good effort, it's all a bit pointless otherwise.
You know you've done a good test when you do you first session at a new FTP and you're a mess by the end. Try matthes, if you're not a gibbering wreck by the end then you're doing it wrong.
That 100W of flywheel power comes in handy some times .
