if you don't use MF much, then don't bother getting the Eg-s focusing screen... it will make your normal lenses (at f/stops 2.8 and above darker) - no point IMO
but if you play with primes alot.. then can consider still

IMO, the Canon ##S super precision matte focusing screen is the best I have ever used, whether it was with a fast or slow lens, outdoor or indoor under dim light as it aids you to see a better and clearer focused image on the VF. When I was using both the Canon 40D and 5D, I used both AF and mf lenses. The ultra contrast you see with this screen is such that it helps not only in dim light but also on a bright day. I could tell whether my AF lens focused accurately. When used with mf lens, even when I stopped down to f8 or f11, the screen remains clear and not frosted like those from other brands. Bless yourself with such flexibilities when you use a Canon DSLR. I am now using Pentax and I am crying for such a focusing screen. There are people who buy this screen, cut it to size to fit their Pentax cameras. I have a split focusing screen on my K5 and when I step down to f5.6, the whole screen become so frosted that it is almost impossible to focus. The stock screen that comes with the camera behaves in the same way. I have none of such experiences with Canon's type xxS super precision matte focusing.
