Interesting... how does this compare to the EG-S for off-center focusing?

Much depends on the body you are using and the screen model. For example I use the brightscreen p222 in both my Ds and D Canon 1 series cameras and the screen is excellent for off centre focusing with both models of cameras, but obviously the same screen in the H sensor camera has a larger portion of the viewable area covered by the fresnel. I have katz-eye too for the c sensor bodies, and the Canon S for the IIn and the B also for the the Ds and D bodies, but I always use just the brightscreen now.
I would add that the screens are great for autofocus only people too since I believe the fresnel helps visualize the relationship between objects in the image.
To answer you question though, if you are focusing on fast moving subjects with a telephoto that has a large aperture, the S screen is better for that specific application, but not manual focusing in a still life setting as the brightscreen matte portion is also very good.
