The best option is to visit a dealer and have a look at one.
I heard many complaints about the quality of the Phase screen before I had actually seen one and was expecting something much more useless than what I found when I went to a dealer.
So it ended up being better than expected for me.... that is not to say that it is a good screen... far from it, and No it will not be as good as your Canon.
But you may end up finding it is good enough for your needs.
Aparently the new Plus versions of the Phase back have better screens but I don't know anyone that has actually seen one in operation.

I just got a P25 and I can say for certain that the screen is WELL BELOW the mark of the Canon 1DS mkII which I also have.

I've heard the P25+ has a better screen but that isn't out yet.

I recently wrote a review of the P30:

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/...%20review.shtml (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/P30%20review.shtml)

As it says there, I found the screen to be incredibly poor.
