I bought one from Colum in Landers Tralee a few years agon for my 6500 ct which had the small handle, it didnt take long to get one and he would post it up to you in Dublin I also bought bearing's for my penn and abu reel's from him as far as I remember I gave him my credit card no and was sorted out that way.
I would reccomend Landers for geting spare part's quickly.
You can get their no in the yellow pages (Lander's Leisure Lines Courthouse Lane Tralee.)

Do power handles give much of an advantage when landing a big fish or is it just for comfort?

Comfort

I find the power handles better for comfort and playing big fish.
