Grips. Essential or not?

I've got an Ex-Pro grip for the K5... Good for walking around but it comes off if I'm using (or even taking) my tripod... It does make packing my bag(s) more problematic when the grip is attached...

i bought a cheap grip not long after i got my K5 used it once. Only having small hands it felt uncomfortable but I think if had kept trying it would have got used it it and the better stability it promised. My main problem was the room it took up in my bag.

This is the main reason I don't use mine as much as I'd intended to...

Couldn't ignore the grip Cliff-P put up for sale, so pretty soon I'll know whether this time round a grip is for me

Once agin, thanks everyone for your comments.
