The Canon finder _c_ has magnification, and you may not be able to see the
whole screen. The older finder B is 1.0x, so you can still see the whole
screen. One would like both, but the C doesn't have 1.0. Which is to say, I
like the B model for use with the 5D. No help with manual focusing, but I
can see the whole of the frame for composition. If you can find it, the B
one is usually quite a bit cheaper, too.
Hmm. But for macro, seeing the focus is important, so maybe the C one is
right after all.

They are a bit stiff coming on/off but rotate easily (so you can take
vertically oriented images while looking down into the camera); the image is
reasonably bright. FWIW, Canon _claims_ you can see the whole screen with
the current model (but I'd guess that assumes no glasses), and it also
allows you to dial in some magnification.
They are nicely built quality optical gizmos. And accordingly pricey, sigh.
