The reason why I ask is that I don't do a lot of etching and Muriatic acid tends to be sold in meduim/large size boxes. Not wanting to store a lot of HCl for a long period of time, I thought I might try AcidMagic, since it comes in smaller (maybe 16 fl.oz.) bottles.

You will probably pay more for 16 oz of AcidMagic than a gallon of muriatic acid.  The best way to avoid fumes is to do a CuCl2 etch rather than an acid etch.
