David - I agree with the others. The grip is worth the money. It's seldom off my camera.
Since I very seldom shoot more than 200-300 shots in a single session I don't put a battery in the camera. I put a battery in the grip and carry the spare in my bag. This lightens the camera a bit. It also makes battery changing more convenient since I don't need to remove the grip to change a battery.
