Do you think the battery pack is too big and ruins the sleek, slim aesthetic of the handheld?

That would be a big duh! And they should have at least matched the colors of the Lite and their pack.

That would be fantastic for those long plane trips, but it practically looks like two DS humping each other.

I think it's a great idea if you need it and can live with the changes.
As an accessory to simply bump up your system's capabilities I think it's aesthetically unpleasing, although interesting as a concept.

There's other battery packs available out there. One I've seen comes with semi-hand grips to even help those with big hands. It'd be hard to explain how it looks like. But I think the picture you showed has the longest battery life of the ones I've seen (which is 3 or 4 different ones)

I use one like this (without the flashlight) with a DS USB Charge cable:

Works with any device that can charge via USB (MP3 player, iPaq, etc).
