While they did improve handling of a small camera in difficult conditions, I have found them to be an encumbrance under regular conditions. They make the M body heavier and bulkier and somehow don't fit the naked hand as well. The ergonomics of the basic M design are, IMHO, beyond improvement. There again, I do have somewhat small hands.
