Do you leave on or take off your L-Bracket?

I just got a new camera (5dMkIII) and I'm thinking about leaving the RRS L-bracket off and just putting it on when I need it.
I have always kept it on my 5dMkII, but I find I don't use it all that much, in practice.

I'm wondering what others do.
Is it just a pain to be taking it off and putting it on as needed? Or, to put it another way, is it just as easy to keep it on because it doesn't get in the way that much?
No big deal, but it does make the camera smaller without it!
Note: I've already ordered the bracket...just trying to decide how I'm going to use it with the new body.

I take it off. It does add a bit more weight. I only use it in weddings for the formals.

I leave it on. Defeats the purpose of a quick release plate for me. PITA to put it on/take it off, IMO.

First, I don't have one. However, I have been thinking about picking one up, but the jury is still out. But if I did have one, I think I would leave it on my camera if it didn't bother me. But, if I was to go on vacation, without a pod, I would leave it at home. It should go on and come off very easily...

Mine stays on all the time.

I leave it on my grip... if I'm looking for lighter and easy to carry around all day, I usually leave the grip at home.

It never comes off, weighs next to nothing and actually helps protect the camera.

I assume you have an Arca type quick release clamp on your tripod. So now you want to shoot that beautiful sunset you weren't expecting, dig out the L-bracket, find the wrench, put it on the camera, now the light is gone. Missed shot.
Quick release does you no good if it's not there. Leave it on.

I leave mine on all the time and it adds protection. I was walking along on a bridge with my camera hanging from my blackrapid and I sort of tripped (didn't fall all the way down) and my camera went swinging and hit the concrete wall pretty hard. Luckily it hit l baracket and just made a nice scratch on it and scuffed up, not a mark on the camera body.

I am shooting landscapes with a tripod 100% of the time. There is no reason for me to ever take off my L bracket.

I might only consider taking off the bracket if I was going to be shooting handheld for an extended period of time.

On - 100% of time.

I leave it on all the time as I use a tripod most of the time.

I leave it on the grip all the time. When I need to travel light, I remove the grip.

I leave it on ALL the time. In addition to the time it takes to add/remove, there's the issue of "how many times can I safely tighten such a device onto my camera?" without cross-threading and/or stripping the camera bodies threads.....not a high probability event but a possibility vs the negligible additional weight/bulk and huge convenience of leaving it on.
