Never bought the battery grip, I suppose because I never ran through an entire battery in a day, so seemed an unnecessary weight.

I have a long lens on the K3.3 (300mm or longer) about 97% of the time, and the grip improves the balance and handling for me. I shoot almost entirely wildlife with the K3.3 and usually shoot at 7 FPS. It isn’t unusual for me to shoot 300 plus shots a day, and don’t want to run out of power mid sequence.

Sounds perfectly reasonable--different shooting habits/subjects, so different preferred configrations <g>
