You could run area() both in your projected location and in a lat-long 
location (preferably using a similar datum), although you would have to 
be careful in the definition of the resolution in each location. 
Comparing the output should give you a notion of projection error.

For visualization you might want to try the Indicatrix mapper Plugin in 
QGIS...
