I own a filson 256 with the extra handle grip and I think it is 100% worth it, if you can afford to go without your bag for a short while, get the grips, and don't worry about converting to a 257 anymore. For me unless you are carrying clothing or other light items, filling a 257 to capacity with electronics and books will break your shoulders... at which point you are better off with a backpack (or the filson rucksack)
