Zrace+Magene powermeter fits t47 because of usage of plastic o-ring on powermeter's side and a special adapting ring on the other side. Resulting q-factor is something like 160mm on my frame and the powermeter has a lot of clearance to the frame.
I tried the same powermeter on my Senicx GR-3 cranks and it did not fitted my frame, Magene makes the central hole too deep.

Xcadey powermeter seems to fit any t47 frame due to it's shape. It's central hole is only 3 mm deep and goes back 1mm to only 2 mm resulting. So as t47 adds 1 mm of it's external width, you'll have to place only one 1mm o-ring in worst case.

Did you have to recalibrate the PM and if you did, was it difficult to do so?

This is probably not going to be a popular opinion on this forum, but I would buy a used Quarq.  I have had two Chinese power meters, one stopped reading cadence (no power without cadence) and the other broke during a rainy 600k.  The Magene seems to have good reviews and seems like an overall solid product, but I have 3 Quarqs, and I purchased each one used for less than the price of a new Magene.  Between my Quarqs, I have over 20,000 miles and have had zero issues.  2 of them are currently on T47x85.5 bikes-- no issues there either.
My general policy is go Chinese for everything non-electronic/shifting related. I dont know how many miles I put on my Quarq but it has also been bulletproof.
