I purchased the Rebel 2k with the BP200 battery pack for those exact same reasons. In my opinion the extra weight definitely helps balance the camera (granted I am only using a 50mm lens), but more importantly (to me), the grip/ergonomics is greatly improved. Oh yea, the vertical shutter release is nice. No info on the battery life though - only have had the camera for a week!

However, now I am kind of wondering why I just didn't purchase the Elan II? It has the added weight and the nicer grip, plus a few other extras - and with the rebate, it is about the same price!

Good Luck
