Default 5D focus screen for manual focus

I have been looking at a different focus screen for my 5D
The Ee-S is supposed to be for manual focus.

Does anyone actually use this screen and use manual focus lenses?

To allow for manual focus on the 40D. I realize you were asking about a 5D so I guess I did not need to post...

Yes - I use this and the Ee-D screen on my 5D. I does allow for much better fine control of manual focus, though I think the Ec-B on my 1DMKIIN does a better job.
