If the battery capacities were equal, I think it would definitely be worth paying $50 more for the Stylus model for the better camera and more storage. With the Power having a better battery, it's a closer call and I guess up to user preference and how much one values paying an extra $50 (+ sales tax) on a phone.
One nice thing buying these discounted phones from Fi is that sales tax is charged on the discounted price of the phone. Some places charge sales tax based on the pre-discounted price.

Does anyone know if these issues are still ongoing or have they been fixed thru software updates? I wasn't planning to use this phone on a Verizon network later, but I was planning to use it on a T-Mobile or AT&T MVNO. Does anyone know if there are any similar issues on other networks?

Found another thread mentioning problems using the Moto G Power on Tello as well (no LTE data). I am worried now. Hopefully, the problem will be fixed by Motorola when I try to use the phone on Tello in a couple months.

Is the Tello problem with former Fi Powers which is what he's referring to with the Verizon issue? I didn't see where it was brought up, just talking of Powers in general.

Wow, that's quite a few separate problems with Powers switching providers then getting no data.
based on my math (correct me if i'm wrong):
+$49 fi credit
+$20 referral credit
-$49 phone purchase
-$35 for 2 months (2 line plan)
-$11 buy a phone number to port on ebay
total cost: $26 per phone for 4.8 months of service (with FI credit) then cancel or $75 without the Fi credit and cancel in 2 months
make sure not to pull the sim card out until day 61 or you get charged the full price of the phone.
for $20 FI credit you can use my referral link: https://g.co/fi/r/RC0UJ4
