And contrary to what Monito will tell you, it will balance better especially if you hand hold a larger lens. Largest I have now is the 70-200 2.8MkII but will be adding another soon and although I can shoot fine without the grip, it just feels more comfortable with the grip on.
I often shoot a 5D2 with the 100-400, and I cannot see any \"balance\" advantage that would result from making my camera heavier. In an ideal world, I can imagine a magical camera that was so small as to be weightless and which (in my fantasy) would allow me to make photographs with only the lens. There would be no \"balance issue\" - it would be just like looking through a spotting scope.
While this is, indeed, subjective, I think that the balance argument doesn\'t really hold up in you think about it.
YMMV.
