It can save you huge headaches from accidentally pumping too much fluid out of the reservoir and getting air in the line. Once air gets in, it's a big pain to get it out. It also makes it very quick since you can just put 1 litre of new, unopened fluid (ATE Gold for me) in the power bleeder and catch the old fluid in the can you just emptied. Once it's hooked up, you just pump it to 10-15psi and go around each wheel, stick a tube on and open the bleeders (including the clutch).
928 Specialists has the Motive power bleeder for the best price I've found ($39). Just search "motive" on their site and you'll find it. It fits all Porsche models (except maybe a 40 year old 356).
