If you want to use an optical viewfinder, then yes it's relevant. If you spend more time framing than shooting, it could be very relevant.

I was referring to the battery life. If you want to use an optical viewfinder, that is a different argument. The question just is: how often is it really making a significant difference in battery life? One which you cannot reasonably compensate for with more batteries or external power supply.
