I have them as well. I figure they are useless if the bear is close, because they take a little time to get setup, but it's compact enoguh to carry and I figure the extra option is worth it. A bear won't necessary be on you in 3 seconds. If they are a distance away, but you have no other method of getting past them to get home, well, a banger could come in handy where bear spray wouldn't.
