DJ, I think that the first GB actually does have a better battery life than the later ones... maybe not if you compare it to two battery-lives of the later systems (so it's 4 batteries vs 4), but I do think it has a longer one than a single battery life of the later systems. Due to using 4 batteries vs 2.
Yes, I have found GBs very, very useful during trips. I play it at home mostly, but when we do go on trips it's a great thing to have along... and with a long battery life and the fact it uses normal batteries it's really easy to recharge. Just take a couple extra AAs with you. :) With the SP I guess I'd either have to get a car adapter or something, because you can't just switch batteries in it... though you are right generally it won't run out on a trip, it is possible. Especially if you're somewhere without a power outlet handy...
