Yeah, so tempted, but, I did just spoon out for the 150-450. Not sure I should be jumping back in the pool so quickly after a big lunch.

Only down side is the small grip supplied. I found it almost unusable. Fortunately a kind PF member in the US sent me his spare large grip. To buy one costs about $70.
Yes, I've got fairly big hands, and I also wondered, about the battery grip. I've heard conflicting reports, that you DO get the large body grip with the battery grip ( IE - Included in the box with the battery grip ) Also heard thats a NO, and you have to source it sep.
Wouldn't mind knowing for sure about that.
