I use the grip, but also with the neck strap.  The tripod socket on the
grip is closer to the centre, which allows the camera to be centred better
on a tripod.
   The grip does not have to be removed from the baseplate when changing
film, which is also nice.  The grip and baseplate come off as one unit.  

   I like the feel handholding with the grip, but find it more comfortable
to use when shooting horizontally compared to vertically, because I hold
the camera vertically with the grip pointing up, much like with SLRs that
have the same kind of hand grip ergonometric styling.
