I should have checked the model number. I thought the MB-D10 was the correct model and it's $249.Guaranteed no incompatibilities, designed and built by Nikon, will last for years. And my recommendation would be the MB-D80 as well since that's what I have on my D90.
My question is "why bother with a grip at all"?
The D90 grip gets you nothing except added weight - no increased frame rate etc.
I know people think it's so much better with a grip for ballance and battery life. To me it's just added weight and size for no real benefit.
If the nikon grip is too much, buy an extra battery and be done with it.
At least with the D300/D700 grip you get additional frame rate for the extra $$$.

Have you ever shot a really long session handheld in portrait orientation? With a big chunky f/2.8 tele? You may be singing a different tune about the importance of balance and ease of handling then.

Yes. Doesn't bother me much to be honest. Hiking with more weight than I need bothers me more.
Yes that's true. But then (for me) another reason not to bother.
I think my point is that someone shooting paid gigs with 2.8 zooms would just buy the best for $250 and be done with it.
If cost is that much a factor, why buy a cheapo knockoff at all for no gain and perhaps less dependability.
