It's a huge improvement. I wouldn't travel without it or something similar -- unless you're the kind of photog who likes to keep the camera hidden in a bag right until you need it; shoot; then put it back in the bag. In that case, you don't really need a strap at all (maybe a wrist strap). But for when you want to have the camera ready and accessible for periods of time, it's so much easier. I'd watch the YouTube videos on their website to get a sense for it.
