The grip is mostly for extended shooting.
And though its true we can simply swap a pack and continue our our way, that idea doesn't always work when a shooter is on location working in the moment.
There have been quite a few jobs where events demanded full coverage. Though even in a studio setting, having to stop in shoot and swap packs can make or break the creative moment.
Aside from that, there is of course the portrait mode controls(shutter and dials). However, I don't think that's much or a deal breaker insofar as shooting in the grove(so to speak) if anything more than a marketing convenience.
With that said, there isn't much else I could offer on the subject beyond that of bigger hands(as you mentioned). Though the K20D has always felt somewhat generous insofar as size goes with regards to the Pentax lineup.
My resolve has been to keep a grip on one camera, and I use my main without it. Which just works better on a monopod or tripod and of course, to walk around with etc.
