I know you've said problem fixed, but this is still the best advice in my opinion. It's amazing how much difference that little bit of weight makes if you needed to take an offhand shot. I enjoy carrying mine a lot more with it off.
My logic is now that if I need it on, I should have time to attach it, but if I want it off, I probably don't have the time to detach it.
Edit - should have read whole thread, I see you've come to the same conclusion.
