hipshot drop d tuner piece

I installed one of these on one of my secondary basses just to try it out,,,It seems like it makes it a good bit top heavy,, Maybe I just dont like change,,,

but I am not sure if i will use this hipshot and don't know if the difference in weight out weighs the use I will get out of it,,,(try to figure that sentence out),,
 
Do you have a need to play songs in drop D tuning? Do you tune down regularly in your band or whenever you play? I use mine all the time in my Country band because a lot of new country stuff is played with a 5 string and I play a 4. If you're not sure if you will use it, you probably won't. If you have a need for it, you will use it, but you should probably know that before you purchase it.
