When I first got one, I
knew I needed it. I'd just taken 1000-2000 action photos in portrait orientation within a two or three hour time span. My arm simply got too tired. The next day I happily paid the full price for one. The grip makes a
huge difference in this scenario. I seldom take my grips off now - they're like a part of my cameras. As you suggested, it really
does makes your camera look more professional, and that matters to some people.
But before I started shooting action portraits I didn't really need one.
If you're unsure get this one - I got this for my second body. Well worth the price:
Battery Grip For Pentax K7 K-7 DSRL D-BG4 - Newegg.com
The buttons are slightly less solid feeling than the genuine grip, and it doesn't have true WR. But other than that it's an exact duplicate - down to being able to swap battery trays between it and the real thing (I have one of each). Yet it costs only 1/5 the price.
