Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work?

I am wondering if anmyone has actually bought used either of these LP flatteners and how well they work??

I find a lot of general new releases are dished, so record clamp works great on one side, but not on the other due to the dishing?.
Do they flatten dished or bowed LP's.

cheers

Are the vacuum platters turntables like Basis effective for severely dished LP's ?

Sirspeedy: thank you ! Great input, exactly what I was waiting. So succion platters are not ideal for warped records, but the main benefit is a sonic one I believe, ond not a small one if I understand what you and Raul say.
I have a VPI ring clamp that I use for non-flat records ( quite common with those new USA reissue unfortunately ) and I am very happy with this device, beside beeing a pain to put on each side. Of course I am VERY careful when I low the arm (never drunk or stoned ! ) If I break my Allaerts I will suffer major depression !
