Well, you're correct about the flicker, but my goal is to allow me to put all of those sprites ANYWHERE on screen.  When I write my game, I will design it so that flicker is minimized, but I will have the flexibility to move a sprite if I feel it is necessary.  It will also allow me more freedom while designing the game.  Instead of having to worry about placing multiple copies of sprites around the screen, I can just set a sprite #, x & y coordinates, x & y motion values, a size value, and the sprite will be there!  The latest version of the engine is included, it allows me to set the NUSIZ value for a sprite too, so you can see a few different sizes/copies of sprites on the screen.
