Here's a shot of the views in both mirrors - cars in the Mirrycle (which is also convex) are about 3 times larger, and the pointless fisheye view of the neighbourhood is greatly reduced.

I love my Mirrycle mirror... the only issue I have is that on rare occasion I try to slip through a gate opening and manage to clip the mirror itself... it snaps right off, broken. It is a hassle I have learned to live with, due to the otherwise good quality of the Mirrycle itself. When I approach narrow openings, I slow and ease through, to save the cost of a new mirror.
