So, now you can use F2.8 instead of F5.6 at FL=150.

Does it worth the pain of having all this hassle with bags, tripods, and other problems you have so vividly described?

Think of it less being able to use F2.8 instead of F5.6 and more being able to use ISO200 instead of ISO800 or 1/1000 sec instead of 1/250 sec.

1/1000 sec produces sharp action shots while 1/250 may produce a blurry mess.

Is it worth it? Only each individual can answer that for themselves and I don't have enough experience yet to answer it for myself.
