Lars,
See the user-written SAMPLESIZE:
"samplesize does everything that sampsi does but in addition allows multiple values for every numeric parameter e.g. the number of follow-up measurements. The resulting values for either power or sample size are plotted in a twoway graph."

It's free and can be used to calculate various aspects of statistical power (e.g., required sample size to detect a given effect size, minimum detectable effect size, etc...). It doesn't calculate these sizes for SEM or MLM, but for most other models you can get quick and easy answers.
