The Rapidgrip has a spare battery compartment built in. The Lieca grip doesn't. When I bought the Rapidgrip I was disappointed by the lack of a tripod socket. I thought I would miss it. I don't miss it, and I find the spare battery compartment much more useful. I also like the feel of the Rapidgrip better than I do the Leica grip. It's a great accessory and I use my RapidGrip all the time. I didn't use the soft release socket on the Rapidgrip for a spare. I used it as a holder when I didn't want my soft release on the camera (for instance, when the body was stored in my bag). I lost my soft release and haven't replaced it yet. I probably need to buy a half dozen. They're great, but they seem to escape easily.
