Leaving Ultrabay Slim empty?

Can anyone think of any ill effect if I leave the Ultrabay Slim empty? The only thing I can think of is if something conductive falls into it, but this seems rather unlikely. Maybe it doesn't look as nice, but I'd rather not spend the $20 + shipping:

Plus, by leaving it empty, it's easier to lift up the laptop on the keyboard bezel.

Thanks!

it's ugly to leave open...........and the bezel provides some additional "support" inside the system.

Dust will become a problem - dumb move to save $20 on a $2000 system.

yeah, i initially balked at the 20 price tag. but I looked ALL over for this thing to see if i can get it cheaper, but no dice.
Found one site who had it for 29.

compulock worked pretty good actually, got here in a reasonable time, shipping wasnt outrageous.

When u take out the cd/dvd drive and feel its weight, it doesnt feel that heavy, but the travel bezel def makes it noticeably lighter.
to the detriment of when i put the drive back, it feels like it weighs a ton.
