I nearly always use the hand grip portion on mine. It doesn't add much weight and much improves the ergonomics.

With the portrait grip, I only use it if my battery runs low as it's quicker to bolt on than change batteries (as the grip portion blocks the battery port) or if I feel I'll look more like a pro.

I always carry my EM5 in a bag so I don't get much use out of its smallness without the grip.

Knowing what I do now and how I use it. I'd consider the GH3 over the EM5 if ergonomics are important to you. But the GH3 wasn't available a year ago when I needed a new camera.
