Most third party battery grips that I have seen have not been a pure 100% fit to the camera body. It kinda fit good but that will do. What do you expect when you compare the original Canon vs a copy? Also, material composition aren't exactly identical. So there is a compromise of paying more for the real McCoy or paying less for a reasonable copy. It's your decision, your acceptance of the build quality of a copy. "Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back." Arthur Rubinstein.

The plastic body has a little bit of a grain to it which pretty much matches the non slip grain in the camera body. thanks! http://somephotosmiami.com

Conversely, you don't need a grip to have two batteries. But you should have two (at least) batteries so you don't run out of charge in mid-session. Jon
