I bought the grip for my K10D shortly after receiving the DA 17-70 a couple years ago. The 17-70 is quite heavy and made my hand ache after shooting all day with it (the only lens ever to do this to me). The grip balances the camera and enabled me to shoot for hours on end without any difficulty.
I set my camera to be powered from the grip battery first, so when it's exhausted I only have to change that one if I do it quickly enough (instead of taking off the grip to remove the other battery), yet I still have the battery in the camera as backup.
The grip is also really useful in storing my remote because it's too small to store in my camera bag and I don't like things in my pockets.
I'd suggest you keep the grip attached for a couple months, then take it off and see if the camera feels/looks naked without it. Then you'll be able to better decide if you're keeping it around.
