External battery pack for SB900

I know Nikon makes the SD-9 external battery pack for the SB900.

I have 2 that I use frequently, and I've been having the typical overheating problem with them.

What I've read indicates that an external battery pack will help with this. But, the SD-9 is $200+

I'm not afraid to spend the $200, but there are other options one must consider when getting in that neighborhood.

Has anyone used one of the knock-off SD-9 replicas floating around? Or some other external battery system?

Pros/Cons/Opinions?

I have two SB900s and I've had the problem as well. I would be interested to know if it cures the problem as I thought is was down to firing a certain number of shots in a short time.
