Yup, I agree your opinion. That's why I didn't consider the original HLD-6
(229g without battery & 280g with battery) and I was considering the grip
for a while. If you have impression for one of my posts many years ago, I
put Motor Drive 2 onto my OM-4T. It caused my OM-4T weighty but very good
balance with heavy lens, such as my Zuiko 100mm F2. Today same situation
for my E-M5, a bit little weighty but good balance with my Pana 25mm F1.4

In my half-year experience for E-M5, I do think it's not security (maybe
said no safeness) for that small handle for holding the camera. The grip
provides reliable & safeness, that's 120g is affordable.
