It seems that Canon doesn't make them anymore, so the only new ones I could find were third party. If you guys and gals were in my situation would you just buy a used Canon or a new third party, and if the latter of the two, which brand?

I am currently using a Phottix Battery Grip for my 60D and very pleased with the quality of it. (also using the same brand's battery too)

I'd prefer my gear didn't fail over saving a few dollars... my BG-E2N was $95 shipped, found here in the Classifieds. I use manual exposure settings on the copy machine
