The only time I encase with clear frit is for one particular stone-like bead I used to make. It stands to reason that when you use frit, you're using small odd-shaped pieces of glass that will melt into the base glass at different levels. If a speckled appearance is what you're going for, it will work great. Glass powder still won't give that glossy, smooth eye appearance, I don't think.
